Postdoctoral Fellow - Cancer Systems Imaging

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Department of Cancer Systems Imaging in Dr. Mingqi Han's laboratory. The position focuses on leveraging multimodal imaging platforms to investigate tumor metabolism in lung cancer and melanoma. The postdoctoral fellow will integrate experimental approaches with computational analysis to dissect the metabolic interplay between tumor and immune cells across multiple spatial and biological scales.

Responsibilities will include both wet‑lab experiments and computational data analysis, with hands‑on experience in in vitro cell culture, in vivo animal studies, and advanced imaging techniques.

All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.

The postdoctoral fellow will be trained to integrate experimental approaches with computational analysis to dissect the metabolic interplay between tumor and immune cells across multiple spatial and biological scales. The trainee will learn and be responsible for both wet‑lab experiments and computational data analysis, with hands‑on experience with in vitro cell culture, in vivo animal studies, and advanced imaging techniques.

The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, bioengineering, cell biology, or equivalent by the time of hire from an accredited institution of higher learning with a solid publication record. The ideal candidate should be self‑motivated, working as a team, and have excellent communication skills.
