Liver Cancer and Ultrasound Imaging Postdoc Fellowship Location: University of Pennsylvania – Perelman School of Medicine Open Date: Aug 10, 2026 Deadline: Description Mentor: Chandra Sehgal, PhD Hiring Department: Radiology Funding Source: NIH Number of positions: 1 U.S. Citizens and foreign nationals may apply Project overview The ultrasound research lab is developing hydralazine-augmented contrast ultrasound (HyCUS), a novel functional imaging technique that exploits differences in tumor versus liver vasculature to improve early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the fastest-growing cause of cancer death in the U.S. Our preliminary data show HyCUS more than triples lesion visibility compared to standard B-mode and contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and detects small HCC lesions missed entirely by current clinical methods. We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral fellow to help translate this promising discovery from bench to...

Postdoc fellow – CRISPR screens in hematopoietic stem cells to study replication fitness Location: University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine Open Date: Jul 31, 2026 Deadline: A postdoctoral fellow position is available at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to perform state-of-the-art CRISPR/Cas9 screens to identify novel therapeutic targets for treating hematopoietic stem cell diseases. Dr. Tong's laboratory studies cytokine receptor signaling in replication stress , DNA repair , and ubiquitin signaling in hematopoietic stem cells , bone marrow failure , and leukemia .

While mammography has significantly improved early detection, its sensitivity is reduced in women with dense breast tissue, who also face a...

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 Physiology and Regeneration Location: University of Pennsylvania - Perelman School of Medicine Open Date: Aug 01, 2026 Deadline: The problem we work on: We study Physiologic Regeneration: whether a tissue that rebuilds the right cells actually recovers the job those cells are supposed to do. After injury, an epithelium can regenerate the correct cell types and still fail to restore coordinated function. Most of the field checks whether the cells come back. We measure whether the function comes back, and we work on why the two so often diverge. We use the airway surface epithelium because it is constantly injured by the outside world, has to recover to keep the host alive, and crucially, has functions we can measure directly : ion and fluid transport, mucociliary clearance, and antimicrobial killing. Projects pair stem-cell biology with quantitative surface physiology to define how, and whether, function is restored after injury. Who...
