Post-Doctoral Research Fellow

The Clurman lab is seeking a highly qualified and motivated Post-Doctoral Research Fellow. The project will study molecular pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies associated with two promising cell cycle targets in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC), Wee1 and CDK4/6.
