Candidates interested in Postdoctoral Fellowships can check the details and may apply as soon as possible.
1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The College of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology at University of Kentucky is seeking motivated Postdoctoral Scholars to study novel immune targets for colon and pancreatic cancers in a collaborative team approach. We will test approaches to examine the interplay between fibroblasts, macrophages and T cells in order to examine therapeutic targets. Human primary cell culture and mouse models will be used to examine immune phenotypes and develop new drug studies. Experience with mouse work, flow cytometry, and immune cell analysis is preferable.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
CAER is staffing up its Carbon Materials program in response to several new externally supported projects, and seeks one or more postdoctoral scholars. The successful candidate(s) will join (and may subsequently lead) a small team with primary responsibilities focused on one or more of the following: a) polymer solution spinning process trials to produce polymer precursor fiber, followed by its conversion to high strength carbon fiber, b) carrying out process trials for coal liquefaction, distillations and processing of mesophase pitch, including melt spinning of pitches, c) systematic high-temperature characterizations of carbon materials, with focus on the effects of temperature and environment on material properties, d) polymer matrix and carbon/carbon composites processing and characterization.

3. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Department of Toxicology & Cancer Biology is recruiting a Post-Doctoral Scholar for the lab of Dr. Ka Wing ‘Will’ Fong, Assistant Professor. Dr. Ka-wing (Will) Fong’s lab is studying transcriptional, epigenetic and metabolic regulation of prostate cancer [see our publications Fong et al., Mol Cell 2022; Fong et al., Nat Commun 2018; Fong et al., Cancer Res 2019, 2017; see the following link for complete publication list: https://toxicology.med.uky.edu/users/kfo241 The lab is currently supported by NIH funding and V-Foundation grants. The putative postdoc researcher will have the opportunities to work on prostate cancer-related projects with use of cutting-edge technologies, including CUTRUN, CUTTAG, ATAC-seq, stable-isotope resolved metabolomics, advanced proteomics and bioinformatics.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
4. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Markey Cancer Center is seeking a Post-Doctoral Scholar. We have established the importance of neurotensin (NT), a gut hormone peptide, in obese development and its associated metabolic disorders. Obesity is associated with an increase in colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence. We also found that NT regulates intestinal epithelial cells as well as intestinal stem cells (ISC) in a manner dependent on the availability of nutrients. Under nutrient-rich conditions, NT promotes crypt cell proliferation. Under conditions of nutrient depletion, NT enhances ISC function. Obesity may rise intestinal carcinogenesis by increasing Intestinal ISC/progenitor’s population, stemness, and niche. We will investigate whether NT regulates CRC carcinogenesis via ISC or their niche. In addition, we are also interested in studying whether NT regulates CRC stem cells (CSCs). The new postdoc. will perform the in vitro experiments including cell culture, western blot, qPCR, IHC or ELISA. He/or she will perform intestinal crypt isolation and 3D organoid culture, tumor spheroid culture from patients. He/or she will also work with mice, such as sacrificing mice and collecting tissues.

5. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Chemistry Department in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to work with the low-energy nuclear structure group at the UK Accelerator Laboratory (UKAL). Most of the research will be performed at the university’s 7 MV Van de Graaff accelerator facility, however, project travel to larger facilities such as TRIUMF and HIyS to perform complementary experiments is also anticipated.
Related topics in nuclear spectroscopy, neutron-induced reactions, and neutron scattering are the focus of the research program. This includes selected studies in forefront areas such as: nuclear structure relevant to double-beta decay, shape transition of nuclei, collective excitations and shape coexistence, as well as precise & accurate neutron scattering cross sections for the development of advanced nuclear reactors, homeland security, and other applications.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Spectroscopic Imaging Laboratory in the F. Joseph Halcomb III, M.D. Department of Biomedical Engineering and Markey Cancer Center at the University of Kentucky has an opening for a postdoctoral scholar research position. The prospective candidate will be expected to contribute to our cancer biology program at Markey Cancer Center in which he/she will have opportunities to pursue conduct preclinical and translational cancer research with a focus of cancer metabolism, and mentor graduate students. This position will also provide a unique opportunity to gain experience in a multidisciplinary research environment. The initial appointment will be for a 12-month period, with possibility of extension based on performance and the availability of funding.

7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The lab of Dr. Chang-Guo Zhan at the UK College of Pharmacy is seeking a post-doctoral scholar. The postdoc is expected to produce various protein drug candidates through construction of the plasmids, site-directed mutagenesis, protein expression and purification in mammalian eukaryotic cells, and protein activity and stability analyses. The postdoc is also expected to evaluate various drug candidates (proteins or small-molecule compounds) in vitro and in vivo (mice and rats etc.) for their activities relevant to clinical development. Qualified candidates must have research experience in (1) construction of plasmids, site-directed mutagenesis, protein expression in mammalian eukaryotic cells, and protein purification; and (2) in vivo studies in mice and rats.
