The incumbent will be expected to conduct research at the level of a co-principal investigator and work with Dr. Vincent Cryns on project development, experimental design, data analysis, presentation and publication of results, grant writing, mentorship of trainees, and collaborative research.

The Cryns lab focuses on understanding how tumors adapt to and survive metabolic stress caused by their rapid growth. The lab is particularly interested in translating these insights into improved cancer biomarkers and therapies. Research projects include studies in cell-based cancer model systems, cancer metabolism and nutrition, proteomics, epigenetics, and the development of unique animal models of cancer metastasis.

Candidates should have familiarity with uwm. Candidates should be able to demonstrate mentorship/leadership experience, have the ability to work well in a collaborative team environment, have a passion for scientific discovery and a rigorous approach to their work. There is a collaborative learning environment through interactions with other groups across campus that allows for scientific and personal growth.

The School of Medicine and Public Health has a deep and profound commitment to diversity both as an end in itself but, also as a valuable means for eliminating health disparities. As such, we strongly encourage applications from candidates who foster and promote the values of diversity and inclusion.

Hire will be subject to criminal background check requirements.
