Join Our Lab

Postdoctoral Fellows

Postdoctoral fellow positions are available in the Vaishnavi Lab to study signaling pathways that promote lung and pancreatic tumor initiation, progression, as well as minimal residual disease. Additionally, the lab is working on creating models to improve our understanding of the novel mechanisms that initiate and comprise never-smoker lung cancer. Highly motivated individuals who have recently obtained a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. and have a strong background in genetics, molecular biology, cancer biology, radiation or health physics, or related fields, are all encouraged to apply.
