Postdoctoral Associate

Job Description

The Ye Lab is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join our team and contribute to an NIH-funded project focused on understanding how glioma hijacks the tumor microenvironment to drive malignant progression. Our research lies at the intersection of glial biology and brain cancer, with a particular emphasis on malignant glioma, the most aggressive form of primary brain tumor. The successful candidate will investigate the role of astrocytes—one of the most abundant and functionally diverse types of glial cells—in glioma progression and their modulation of the tumor microenvironment. The project will employ genetically engineered mouse and human glioma models, along with advanced imaging techniques, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, and molecular biology approaches. The Postdoctoral Associate is expected to lead research projects from experimental design, data analysis, to presentations in lab meetings, conferences, and semina...
