Post Doc Opportunities

A number of novel and exciting projects are available for incoming post-docs. The research environment here at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and throughout the University campus is excellent. Cutting edge seminars by local researchers and invited speakers are held on a daily basis. There is a very strong environment for genetic research, which greatly facilitates translation of findings in model organisms to human diseases.

For our zebrafish work, we share our brand new facility with six other groups working on such diverse topics such as axon guidance (Chien), wnt signaling (Dorsky), T-Box genes (Grunwald), olfaction (Michels), arch development and lateral line (Piotrowski), and left-right patterning (Yost). There is a wonderfully collegial atmosphere between our groups, where we exchange reagents freely, share equipment, and have bi-weekly plenary meetings with presentation of research-in-progress.

Our lab space is part of an open lab, with Joe Yost’s lab as a direct neighbor. We share lab equipment (e.g. in-situ robot), and interact constantly with members of his lab. There are approximately 30 post-docs at the Huntsman, which provides an active and stimulating research environment. Weekly research-in-progress meetings are a great forum for open exchange of ideas.

If you're interested in a postdoc position, please contact Nick Trede.
