About this position

Postdoctoral Fellow opportunity in cell biology and computational biology at the National Cancer Institute, within the Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics and Dr. Steven D. Cappell’s lab. The project focuses on how signal transduction networks are wired into logical circuits and how they regulate cell behavior in space and time, with a strong emphasis on cell cycle dynamics in normal and cancer cells.

The research uses live-cell imaging of fluorescent biosensors in single cells together with genetic and pharmacological perturbations to identify regulatory mechanisms in cancer biology. The role is especially suited to candidates interested in quantitative biology, genomics, signal transduction, and imaging-based analysis.

This is a training position based in Bethesda, United States, with a starting stipend of $67,200. It is a full-time, in-person appointment. The posting states that U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is not required.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. or equivalent (or expect to receive one) or an M.D. equivalent by the time they join the lab. Strong interest in cell biology, genomics, signal transduction, or live-cell imaging is required, and experience with customized algorithms in MATLAB, R, Python, or similar tools is highly desirable.

To apply, submit a CV/resume, cover letter, and 3 references. Questions can be directed to Steve Cappell at [email protected].

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
