About this position
Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), School of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Craniofacial Molecular Biology, is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow for the Lab of Oral & Craniofacial Innovation (LOCI) at the Philips Institute for Oral Health Research.
This is a research-intensive postdoc focused on single-cell RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics (including Xenium and MERSCOPE), spatial proteomics (CODEX, PhenoCycler), and integrative multiomic analysis. The project examines the molecular architecture of the human airway and upper aerodigestive tract, with emphasis on epithelial, stromal, vascular, and immune compartments across oral cavity, nasal mucosa, and lower airways. Disease areas include cancer, autoimmunity, infection, immune regulation, epithelial remodeling, and tissue regeneration.
The fellow will work in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary environment with clinical, computational, and engineering partners, and will contribute to NIH-funded projects and precision medicine / spatial diagnostics initiatives linked to VCU and Massey Cancer Center.
Requirements: Ph.D. in molecular biology, cell biology, bioengineering, immunology, systems biology, or a related field; experience with single-cell RNA-seq and/or spatial omics; strong molecular/cellular biology background; ability to work independently and collaboratively; willingness to do animal work and comply with IACUC and biosafety standards; and first-author peer-reviewed publications. Preferred experience includes airway/mucosal/epithelial biology, mouse models of inflammation/infection/cancer, computational analysis (Seurat, Scanpy, R/Python), CRISPR, viral vectors, and organoid or ex vivo culture systems.
Funding: Full-time postdoc with salary commensurate and VCU benefits eligibility. The role is described as NIH-funded, with opportunities for leadership, mentoring, pilot grants, and fellowships.
Location: MCV Main Campus, Richmond, Virginia, United States.
How to apply: Submit the application through the VCU Jobs portal. Begin by entering your name and email, then complete the online application. For questions, contact Dr. Kevin Byrd at [email protected].
