A CPRIT (Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas)-funded postdoctoral fellow

position focused on studying the neural mechanisms underlying cancer pain is available in the

laboratory of Dr. Seungwon (Sebastian) Choi in the Psychiatry Department Neuroscience

Division at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

 

Working as a team member of the lab and with generous support from a CPRIT grant, the

successful candidate will utilize mouse genetic tools in conjunction with anatomical,

physiological, and behavioral approaches to understand the neurobiological mechanisms

underlying cancer pain. This position provides an excellent opportunity for individuals who have

cancer biology training to work in the intersection of cancer biology and neuroscience and make

a transition to pursue careers in the field of neuroscience.

 

Candidates must hold Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree(s). Cancer biology research with a track record

of leading projects to publication is preferred. Candidates with experience in the in-vivo analysis

of mouse cancer models and single-cell and/or single-nucleus RNA sequencing are strongly

encouraged to apply. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to direct independent projects in

a multi-disciplinary and collaborative research environment with a variety of cancer and

neuroscience research resources available at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

 

Information on our postdoctoral training program and benefits can be found in our Postdoc

Handbook or at http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/postdocs.

 

Interested individuals should send a CV, cover letter describing research experiences and

interests, and a list of three references to:
