Post Doctoral Fellow in Cancer Biology and Glycobiology
Join the Kudelka Laboratory at Emory University to investigate cell-surface glycans in cancer progression and therapy.
Best for:Best for motivated molecular and cell biologists with a PhD and a strong interest in cancer biology or glycobiology.
Overview
A postdoctoral position is available in the Kudelka Laboratory at Emory University and the Winship Cancer Institute to study how cell-surface glycans regulate tissue development, homeostasis, and cancer. The successful candidate will combine functional genomics, mouse models, cell and molecular biology, and emerging approaches in glycobiology to uncover mechanisms controlling cell behavior in vivo. The role involves designing and executing experiments, developing novel research ideas, and preparing scientific manuscripts under the mentorship of the Principal Investigator. The position offers an opportunity to advance professional skills and research independence within a vibrant academic research environment.
