– The Simpson Laboratory currently has two post-doctoral positions available as described below. If you are interested in a position, please apply directly using the links provided.
Position #1: This postdoctoral position will study the impact of extracellular matrix turnover on endocytic recycling and exosome biogenesis during prostate tumor progression using animal and cell culture and mouse models. These studies will be used by this position to conduct a vigorous research program in the Department of Molecular and Structural Biochemistry to determine the role of extracellular matrix synthesis; turnover in vesicle trafficking; and exosomal communication during the progression of prostate cancer. Application of this position’s research studies will be completed using modern techniques in molecular biology; mamalian cell culture and transfection; in vitro protein analysis (western, immunoprecipitation, immunifluorescence); and mouse models of tumor progression. APPLY
Position #2: This postdoctoral position will study hormonal control mechanisms in prostate tumor progression using animal and cell culture models. These studies will be used by this position to conduct a vigorous research program in the Department of Molecular and Structural Biochemistry. Application of this position’s research studies will be completed using modern techniques in molecular biology; mammalian cell culture and transfection; in vitro protein analysis (western, immunoprecipitation, immunoflourescence); and mouse models of tumor progression. APPLY
Both positions will actively interact with fellow researchers within the Department of Molecular and Structural Biochemistry of NC State University; the Department of Animal Science of NC State University; clinical cancer researchers through membership in the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center; and members of the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine.
