Dermatology Fellowships

Basic Science Research Fellow Opportunity

The Basic Science Research Fellowship is for highly motivated individuals interested in Cancer Biology and Stem Cell Biology to investigate early, initiating genetic, and microenvironmental events that regulate tumorigenesis. Our research focuses on the identification of the cell origin and on elucidating the roles of microenvironment in tumor development.

We dissect the cellular and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis from a developmental perspective using Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), a common tumor predisposition human genetic disorder, as a model. The laboratory is a collaborative effort between the Department of Dermatology and the Department of Developmental Biology, offering an extraordinarily rich environment that encompasses both basic and translational research for individuals pursuing a career in academia. Candidates should hold a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or M.D. degree and should possess good communication skills. Interested candidates should send an updated CV, with names and contact information for three professional references to:
