About the Opportunity

West Virginia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join a dynamic and interdisciplinary research team within the WVU Cancer Institute's Hematopoietic Malignancies Program. The lab investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the bone marrow microenvironment, with a particular focus on mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes and their role in hematologic malignancies.

This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge cancer biology research using a combination of molecular biology, synthetic biology, and single-cell technologies. The successful candidate will work in a collaborative environment that bridges basic science with translational applications, including therapeutic development and biomarker discovery.

Research Focus

The lab integrates diverse methodologies to explore :

  • The functional role of bone marrow stromal cells in leukemia progression
  • Exosome-mediated intercellular communication
  • Genetic and epigenetic regulation of hematopoietic stem cells
  • Novel therapeutic strategies using synthetic biology and CRISPR-based tools

We strongly believe in work-life balance and keeping time for things we love outside our work. WVU offers generous benefits, including :

  • 37.5-hour work week
  • 13 paid holidays ( staff holiday calendar )
  • 24 annual leave (vacation) days per year ( employee leave )
  • 18 sick days per year (for when you're ill, for when you need time to care for sick family, for your own, or your family's, regularly scheduled medical appointments. Who is family for the purpose of this leave? A lot of people in your life including immediate relatives and in-laws as well as others considered to be members of your household living under the same roof)
  • WVU offers a range of health insurance and other benefits
  • 401(a) retirement savings with 6% employee contribution match, eligibility to continue health insurance, and other retiree perks. Looking for more retirement benefits information ? Check out retirement health insurance benefits, retirement income, and FAQ's.
