Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our academic community.

The Marcus laboratory at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University is searching for an applicant with expertise in cell biology and/or cancer biology. Our laboratory had developed a cell biology approach to extract genomic information from rare cancer cells, and apply this technique to study cancer metastasis and tumor heterogeneity (publications in Nature Communications, Science Advances, and Clinical Cancer Research). We are searching for a post-doctoral fellow with strong cell biology, biomedical engineering, and/or cancer biology experience. This can include experience in microscopy, 3-D cell culture studies, mechanistic biology, or in vivo animal studies. A main goal in the lab is to mentor and train the post-doctoral fellow for success by providing the leadership, writing, and experimental skills necessary to excel in a scientific career. The Marcus lab has had a strong track-record of success in pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training grants and would expect the applicant to apply for a training grant as the project develops.
