Postdoc in Cancer Immunology Location: University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine: Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Open Date: Jan 28, 2026 Deadline: Funding is available for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join an NIH R01-funded research program investigating bitter taste receptor (T2R) signaling in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). This work focuses on understanding how G protein-coupled receptor signaling shapes macrophage behavior within the tumor microenvironment and how these pathways can be leveraged to promote anti-tumor immunity. Oral squamous cell carcinoma remains a highly lethal disease, with clinical outcomes strongly influenced by immune composition and macrophage phenotype within the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated macrophages play a central role in regulating tumor progression, immune suppression, and response to therapy, yet many of the signaling pathways governing...

Postdoctoral Position in Diabetic Fracture Healing, FOXO1, Primary Cilia, and Regenerative Biomaterialsled Position Location: Penn Dental Medicine Open Date: Jun 02, 2026 Deadline: Open to applications from U.S. Citizens and foreign nationals A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Dana Graves, University of Pennsylvania, to study why diabetes disrupts fracture healing and to develop a new local therapeutic strategy to restore bone repair. This project builds on compelling data showing that lineage-specific deletion of FOXO1 in chondrocytes or osteoblasts fully rescues diabetes-impaired fracture healing, as measured by histology, microCT, and mechanical testing. We have also found that loss of primary cilia in these same skeletal lineages reproduces key features of diabetic fracture healing. Together, these findings point to a novel FOXO1-primary cilia axis as a central regulator of skeletal repair in diabetes. The successful candidate will...
