Read Lab Available Position:
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Renee Read in the Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Successful applicants will join an active translational research team that studies the genetics and biology of glioblastoma. The Read Lab - Emory, @RRead_Lab Our research program uses a multidisciplinary approach to analyze the function of developmental cell-signaling pathways, such as the RTKs EGFR and MET, in glial tumorigenesis. Our approach uses several brain tumor model systems, including mouse genetic models of glioblastoma, patient-derived human glioblastoma stem cells, and novel tumor models in Drosophila melanogaster. Our research, which includes small scale clinical trials, is aided by productive collaborations with other neuro-oncology researchers in the Departments of Neurosurgery, Pediatrics, Pathology, and Hematology and Medical Oncology. We welcome young scientists who seek to enter this dynamic field. Trainees in our lab will have opportunities to work with our brain tumor model systems, perform drug testing experiments in pre-clinical paradigms, interface with clinical neuro-oncology faculty and trainees, and advocate for patient outreach and education. For more information on current funding and research see our grant Ivy Foundation Emerging Leader Award.
Emory University offers comprehensive opportunities for professional career development for postdoctoral fellows, including several T32 training grants that support in translational neuroscience, pedagogy, health and wellness, and community and government outreach. We are proud supporters of diversity and inclusion in scientific research and training. Our lab members have come from many different backgrounds, bringing their passion to our work together to advance the discovery and development of new therapies and therapeutic targets for adult and pediatric glioblastoma. Read Lab trainees have gone on to careers in academic research, medicine, government, and scientific industry.
To apply, please send CV, brief description of research interests, and contact information of three references to Dr. Renee Read (contact Dr. Read; @RRead_Lab; DM).
Emory University provides an outstanding group of laboratories investigating neuroscience, translational neurology, glial biology, and neurosurgery in an excellent intellectual environment within the larger scientific and public health community in Atlanta.
