"Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Associate"

The laboratory of Prof. Mikhail Nikiforov at Duke University’s Departments of Pathology and Biomedical Engineering is seeking highly motivated individuals for postdoctoral and research associate positions. Our research focuses on the functional characterization of novel targets in metastatic melanoma and the mechanisms driving progression and drug resistance in multiple myeloma (https://pathology.duke.edu/research-core-facilities/primary-faculty-labs/nikiforov-lab). We employ cutting-edge methodologies, including intracellular imaging, organoid technology, and animal modeling, to advance our understanding of cancer biology. Our lab has a strong track record of postdoctoral fellows advancing to faculty positions, with many securing Assistant Professorships. Relevant publications include: Bianchi-Smiraglia et al., Nature Methods; Bianchi-Smiraglia et al., Nature Communications; Wolff et al., Cell Chemical Biology; Han et al., Leukemia; Yan et al, Blood. The successful candidate should hold a PhD in a relevant field and have extensive hands-on experience in cell and molecular biology techniques, as well as experience working with animal models (mice). Salary will be commensurate with experience. To apply, please submit a cover letter and resume to mikhail.nikiforov@duke.edu
