University of Washington, Dept. of Urology

Postdoctoral Fellow/Research Scientist

Postdoctoral scientists are sought to work at the Department of Urology of the University of Washington. Our research focus is prostate cancer bone metastasis. We are highly oriented toward publication of findings with the potential to lead to new treatments, as well as mechanistic cancer biology. Areas of special interest are the mechanisms underlying the tendency of prostate cancer to metastasize to bone and the perturbation of normal bone remodeling upon growth of prostate cancer cells in the bone environment. Responsibilities of the positions include designing, performing, and analyzing in vitro and in vivo experiments. Manuscript preparation and grant-writing are also important aspects. Applicants should have prior research experience in molecular or cellular biology. Prior training and/or research experience in bone biology is highly preferred but not mandatory.

The UW is one of the nation’s premier educational and research institutions. The University of Washington is building a culturally diverse environment and strongly encourages applications from women and minority candidates.
