Post Doctoral Scholar - Comprehensive Cancer Center
About the Position
We invite you to apply for a Post Doctoral Scholar position to pursue specialized research training and experience under the guidance of Dr. Deepti Mathur, Ph.D. As part of the Department of Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, our goal is to use the lens of metabolism to better understand and predict cancer progression. We use a combination of experimental and clinical data paired with computational analyses to model tumor evolution. We seek a postdoctoral candidate who will apply a combination of molecular biology and engineering methods to understand how metabolic spatial structure affects cancer progression, using specialized microfluidic chambers.
