Position Description

Together, the Borniger, Lukey, and Janowitz laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) offer a unique opportunity for a highly motivated and creative postdoctoral researcher, with strong experimental and analytical skills, to investigate the reciprocal interaction of sleep and cancer progression.

You will become part of a multidisciplinary team of basic researchers and clinicians studying tumor-host interactions, using integrative techniques from neuroscience, endocrinology, metabolomics, and immunology to dissect the mechanisms connecting sleep disruption with aberrant metabolic and immune responses during cancer progression.

We are looking for candidates who will develop their own research questions in line with the overarching goals of this program. Substantial resources will be available to the selected candidate, including state-of-the-art laboratory space and the opportunity to discuss science in a diverse and supportive environment. Opportunities to develop skills in the use of murine models of cancer, advanced microscopy, optogenetics/chemogenetics, metabolomics, and biostatistics will be available.

Environment

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is a world-renowned biomedical research institution in New York. It has shaped contemporary biomedical research and is the home of eight Nobel Prize laureates. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory provides a highly dynamic and interactive research environment and also a unique opportunity of timely exposure to advances in various biomedical research fields and of interaction with a broad range of researchers from all over the world through its renowned Meetings and Courses program.

We believe that science is for everyone. We have had researchers with a variety of backgrounds and believe in the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Education: A doctoral degree in the field of cancer biology, immunology, neuroscience, biochemistry, or a related discipline is required.

Experience/Skills: The candidate should be scientifically curious with an ability to advance their research interests creatively as part of a collaborative team. Experience of working with animal models of diseases is required. Working knowledge of physiology, neuroscience, immunology, metabolism, endocrinology, and/or biochemistry is preferred.
