Post-Doc Research Associate - Yates Lab
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Details
Posted: 22-Oct-25
Location: Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Internal Number: 308226
Vacancy ID: PDS004684
Position Summary/Description:
Incidence and mortality of endometrial (uterine) cancer are increasing at an alarming rate. Obesity, hormone exposures, and inherited DNA mismatch repair defects are major risk factors for developing uterine cancer. Despite these known risk conditions, significant knowledge gaps remain in defining mechanisms of uterine cancer development. Health disparities in uterine cancer outcomes have been observed in underserved populations, yet these disparities have received limited attention at the molecular level.
A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the lab of Dr. Melinda Yates at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Yates lab uses preclinical models and human tissue studies to investigate mechanisms of uterine cancer development and identify opportunities for cancer prevention. The successful applicant will study contributions of environmental factors (e.g., obesity, hormones, stress) in endometrial cancer development and outcomes through human tissue and blood-based biomarker studies, including spatial biology approaches.
Education and Experience:
Experience in cancer biology or hormone signaling/endocrinology is strongly preferred. Prior experience with both bioinformatics and tissue (or organoid) cultures is preferred.
