Research Opportunities

This post-doctoral opportunity will emphasize implementing behavioral and clinical interventions targeting diet, physical activity, and mood states such as stress among individuals at risk or living with chronic health conditions, such as cancer. Candidates will gain the skills to conduct research addressing abnormal energy balance leading to excess adiposity in a diverse clinical and community-based population. Applicants should have excellent oral and written communication skills, strong quantitative/analytical research skills, the ability to work independently and as part of a team, and demonstrate commitment to community-engaged research and health equity. The successful candidate will be supervised by Dr. Erica Phillips.

The Giorgio Inghirami Laboratory seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow (Ph.D., MD/Ph.D. or equivalent) experienced in molecular biology, tumor immunology, and T and B cell biology to elucidate the pathogenetic events leading to T-cell transformation. The laboratory is focused on dissecting the molecular mechanisms driving tumorigenesis via STAT3, using genomic and pharmacological (i.e., Protacs) strategies. We combine a battery of in vitro, in vivo, and molecular (WES, RNAs, and multi-omics) platforms to experimental models and human lymphoma samples. We aim to define functional and therapeutic liabilities and test novel drugs and immune-based strategies via humanized mice and Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDX) models. To apply, send a cover letter, cv, and three references to gg9001@med.cornell.edu.

The Nam Lab is seeking post-doctoral scientists to study the development and progression of hematopoietic neoplasms using cutting-edge molecular and computational approaches. We focus on developing novel single-cell multi-omics techniques and computational algorithms to interrogate primary human tissues directly. We implement a complementary process of discovering cancer-specific signatures directly in patient samples through powerful single-cell sequencing platforms and mechanistically defining these targets through model systems for translational impact. We are recruiting (1) a wet lab-focused molecular biologists to lead single-cell genomics technology development and experiments, and (2) computational biologists to develop new algorithms for discovery in high-dimensional datasets generated by novel experimental procedures. These fully funded positions offer competitive benefits and access to subsidized Cornell housing in Manhattan and Roosevelt Island. To apply, send your CV with a list of publications, a summary of your current and future research interests, and three references to Dr. Anna Nam at shn9035@med.cornell.edu.

Several postdoctoral positions are available in The Children's Brain Tumor Project (Department of Neurological Surgery) in the Souweidane, Greenfield, and Dahmane groups to perform basic and translational research to improve outcomes for children with brain tumors by advancing scientific discovery and clinical therapeutics. Research in the Children's Brain Tumor Project focuses on developmental neurobiology, brain cancer biology, CRISPR screens, targeted therapy, effective drug delivery approaches, and low treatment-related toxicity for various pediatric brain tumors, including Diffuse midline gliomas, medulloblastoma, ETMR, ATRT, choroid plexus carcinomas. The lab seeks postdoctoral fellows with experience in cancer biology, immunology, and nanotherapeutics. Experience in molecular biology, mouse models of cancer, developmental biology, computational biology, pharmacokinetics/dynamics, and theranostics would be advantageous. Send a CV, a career statement including your research experience, and contact information for 3 references to nad2639@med.cornell.edu.
