Job Description

The Fralin Biomedical Research Institute (FBRI) is a leading research institute dedicated to the understanding and treatment of disease. We seek to discover the molecular basis of major human diseases including cancer and to develop effective new approaches to diagnostics and therapeutics. The FRBI has launched an ambitious collaboration with Children's National Hospital to build an outfit of pioneering cancer researchers at the new innovation center in Washington, DC (CNRIC). The Mulvaney lab's focus is on signaling pathways in pediatric and adult cancers-with a particular emphasis on therapeutically targeting enzyme vulnerabilities. Postdocs will be able to grow and develop their own projects under Dr. Mulvaney's guidance.

The Mulvaney Laboratory within the FBRI and CNRIC is deploying large-scale genetic, biologic, peptide, and small molecule approaches to define domains and specific molecular mechanisms that can be exploited for therapeutic development against emerging cancer targets. We are looking for an exceptional Postdoctoral Associate to join a team of scientists investigating signaling pathways in cancer. We are seeking creative and highly motivated individuals who want to work in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary research environment. We value innovative and rigorous science in a friendly and fun environment. Postdocs will have access to all Virginia Tech and Children's National Hospital Resources, core facilities, and seminars, and will be provided opportunities to grow and develop. They will also benefit from the rich scientific community in the DC area.

The FBRI within the Carilion Virginia Tech School of Medicine as well as the Children's National Hospital provide a vibrant research environment with close links to many top academic institutions across the DC-Virginia Area and provides the potential for the postdoc's contributions to be utilized and recognized worldwide.
