Overview

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.
