Job Details
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to focus on the molecular biology of melanoma. The main goal of the Lang Laboratory at Boston University is to determine the molecular mechanism of melanoma growth, survival, and metastasis. This candidate will have opportunities for in vitro and in vivo studies in melanoma cancer research. These projects include molecular biology, histology and histopathology, protein biology, and mouse models. Representative publications from the lab include Kubic, J.D. et al., Oncogene 2015 34:(38)4964, JBC 2015 290:(36)21901, and Mol Cancer Res, 2012 10:(8)1065.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in molecular biology, cancer biology, or related field. Candidates also must have a track-record of productivity, an ability to interact with a team, be able to think critically, and be able to work independently. Candidates should be able to perform basic techniques in cell culture, molecular biology and DNA cloning, and/or mouse husbandry. There will be opportunities for scientific writing, experimental design, and presentations; these activities are also required as part of this position. Preference will be given to candidates with less than 2 years of postdoctoral experience.

The Difference Is Our DNA
What compelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to award Boston University a grant to fight newborn mortality in Zambia? Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. adopt BU as a place where he could hone his message of justice and equality? And what is the catalyst that prompts 32,557 students from 135 countries to call BU their home every semester? It’s in our DNA: an inherent desire in each of our students, faculty, and staff to vigorously and dauntlessly pursue knowledge—and embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with it.
A Community Unlike Any Other
As you can see below, it takes people, ideas, and a little luck (Boston, you’re our town) to make BU what it is today: one of the most dynamic universities in the world.
Celebrated thinkers: On any given day, students will find themselves mesmerized by Nobel Prize winners, a poet laureate, and the first biomedical engineer ever to receive a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award,” among others.
Extraordinary teaching: When a classroom starts to percolate with new ideas, it’s because our faculty of scholars and accomplished practitioners know how to ignite students’ imaginations. That’s why we reward our best teachers with BU’s most prestigious honor: The Metcalf Cup and Prize.
Groundbreaking research: With faculty dedicated to a creative, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, BU has become a leading global research institution—propelled forward by over $350 million a year in sponsored program revenue.
World-class students: Elite students from all 50 states and 135 countries pursue higher education on BU campuses in Boston and at programs in L.A., D.C., and more than 30 other cities on six continents.
A city within a city: Today, 80% of our undergrads live on campus, which could explain the 525 student activity groups alone.
The greatest college town in the world: Boston. ’Nuff said.
