Postdoctoral Researcher in Translational Cancer Research

The Verma Laboratory within the Department of Pathology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow to examine the links between inflammation, DNA damage, stem cell aging, and cancer progression. The successful candidate will employ murine and humanized models, patient samples, single-cell multiomics, and proteomics to uncover therapeutic targets and evaluate novel investigational treatments. This role provides an exceptional opportunity for translational impact within a well-funded, collaborative, and resource-rich research environment. Applicants are expected to conduct rigorous mechanistic studies, manage experimental workflows, and contribute actively to scholarly publications.

• Design and execute mechanistic experiments examining inflammation, DNA damage, and stem cell aging using murine and humanized models.
• Process and analyze human patient samples alongside single-cell multiomics data such as CITE-seq.
• Perform advanced flow cytometry and proteomics assays to uncover therapeutic targets within inflammatory pathways.
• Test novel investigational drugs in preclinical models and support early-phase clinical trial evaluations.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary team members to interpret findings and advance translational research goals.
• Prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication and present research findings at scientific meetings.
