A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Daniel W. Rosenberg’s laboratory at the Center for Molecular Oncology at UConn Health. Our long-term goals are to apply mouse genetic cancer models to understand early stages of cancer pathogenesis, and to develop effective chemoprevention strategies to reduce cancer risk. We are recruiting a highly motivated individual with a Ph.D. and/or M.D./Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology or a related discipline to study the chemopreventive efficacy of naturally-occurring polyphenolic compounds present in certain foods.

• ◆

  Lead a project focused on the role of polyphenolic compounds in cancer prevention.

• ◆

  Both in vitro and in vivo preclinical work will be required.

• ◆

  Keep detailed and accurate logs of experiments from conception to analysis using appropriate software tools.

• ◆

  Prepare presentations for meetings/conferences and manuscripts for publication of new research findings.

• ★

  Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in cell biology, molecular biology, or a related field.

• ★

  Expertise with animal models, immunologic assays, cell culture systems, and basic molecular biology techniques is required.

• ★

  Good oral and written communication skills.

• ★

  Ability to respond effectively to constructive feedback.

• ★

  Ability to handle advanced statistical packages for data analysis.

• ★

  Ideal candidates will be highly motivated and have serious ambition to further develop their scientific career. They will have a desire to be challenged and to learn new scientific techniques and develop novel approaches.

Interested applicants should send their cover letter, CV/resume, and list of references directly to Dr. Rosenberg.
