Postdoctoral Researchers, Baslan Lab Location: University of Pennsylvania - Penn Vet Open Date: Sep 28, 2026 Deadline: Faculty Mentor: Timour Baslan, Ph.D. Department: Biomedical Sciences Positions are funded by various grants: federal as well as foundation. Five positions The positions are open to US citizens and foreign nationals. The Baslan Lab at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) is recruiting Postdoctoral Fellows (computational & experimental), 5 positions in total, to join our multidisciplinary team of investigators. Our work focuses on studying cancer genomes, with a specific attention to the genetics and biology of a cryptic class of cancer associated mutations termed Copy Number Alterations (CNAs). These somatic events change the number and composition of chromosomes in cancer cells to yield cancer and immune biology that is almost entirely unknown. To dissect these events, we employ a...

Postdoctoral Fellow in Senescence, Aging and Inflammation Location: University of Pennsylvania - Penn Dental Medicine Open Date: Sep 18, 2026 Deadline: The Opportunity A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Dana T. Graves at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Department of Periodontics. The fellow will investigate mechanisms by which cellular senescence and inflammation intersect to alter age-associated pathogenesis. The position integrates experimental biology with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), 10x Genomics Xenium spatial transcriptomics, quantitative imaging, and molecular and cellular validation to define disease-associated cell states, inflammatory signaling networks, and potential therapeutic targets. Research Focus The research program will examine how senescent cell states and inflammatory signals influence pathology that enhances aging-linked pathology using a periodontal mouse model and human...
