A wet-lab postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Zhang Lab | University of Michigan Medical School (Department of Radiation Oncology) to join a highly collaborative team (Morgan Lab | University of Michigan Medical School ) studying how brain tumor cells and their surrounding environment respond to treatment, with the goal of identifying new therapeutic strategies. The successful candidate will lead and support innovative projects with strong emphasis on mechanistic and translational research.

The laboratory has established a track record of impactful publications in leading journals, including Neuro-Oncology, Cancer Cell, Cancer Research, Molecular Cell, and Nucleic Acids Research. Leveraging unparalleled access to the resources and expertise of both the Department of Radiation Oncology and the University of Michigan Pediatric Brain Tumor Center, we employ innovative, multidisciplinary, and multi-omic approaches to elucidate the molecular mechanisms driving pediatric brain tumor therapeutic resistance and tumor-immune interactions. We aim to translate these discoveries into more effective and less toxic therapies for children with brain tumors.

• Ph.D. (or equivalent) in cancer biology, molecular biology, immunology, metabolism, or a closely related biomedical field.
• Prior experience or strong interest in tumor immunology and/or cancer metabolism is highly desirable.
• Demonstrated ability to independently design, execute, and interpret complex in vitro and in vivo experiments.

• Working knowledge of basic bioinformatics analysis (e.g., RNA-seq analysis, public dataset mining, pathway analysis) is preferred.
• A strong collaborative mindset.

• This is a one-year postdoctoral appointment, with the possibility of renewal based on performance for up to 3 years.
• The position offers opportunities for high-impact publications, grant writing, and career development in an interactive research environment.
• We welcome applications from candidates who are intellectually curious, self-driven, and eager to contribute to cutting-edge brain cancer research.
