Postdoctoral Fellows
Candidates are invited to submit a CV with the contact information for 3 references and a cover letter describing your academic background, career goals, and most importantly, why you are specifically interested in our lab. Individuals with a strong background in cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, microscopy, cytogenetics, and/or computational genomics are encouraged to apply, although we welcome any area of expertise. Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in a relevant scientific area before starting the position and show significant promise for leading an independent research project, including outstanding publications in peer-reviewed journals and/or pre-prints.

Philosophy on Mentorship and Expectations
We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive laboratory environment aimed at offering exceptional training and career development opportunities for fellows and students. As a mentor, my goal is to do everything I can to help you acquire the skillsets and accomplishments that you will need to advance to, and excel at, the next stage of your career – whether that is in academia, industry, or elsewhere. In return, I expect you to work passionately, think creatively, become immersed in your research project, and to actively engage with your peers and the local and broader scientific community. Our team strives to stand at the cutting-edge of science while also enjoying our time inside and outside of the lab.
UT Southwestern – located in the heart of the Southwestern Medical District in Dallas, Texas – provides an exceptional and vibrant atmosphere for conducting groundbreaking, collaborative research in a number of biomedical and health-related disciplines. Learn more >>
