05/30/2025	Ian Cartwright, PhD	The Cartwright laboratory is interested in understanding how various neutrophil-derived mediators alter the inflammatory microenvironment and contribute to intestinal barrier dysfunction and microbial dysbiosis.	This position includes bench research and project development. The project topic is: “Dissecting neutrophil-derived mediators to promote inflammatory resolution”. Key Responsibilities: • Designing, planning, and executing experiments to better understand how neutrophil derived mediators influence inflammation within the mucosa, including, but not limited to, models of inflammatory bowel disease. • Utilizing specialized knowledge and sophisticated research techniques examining inflammation-related signaling by intestinal epithelial cells, with a focus on innate immune cell–host epithelial cell cross talk and the inflammatory microenvironment. • Implementation of schedule methodology, timeline and lab book • Collecting, recording, analyzing, and presenting data • Preparation of project reports and manuscripts for publication • Meeting with the project Principal Investigator (Ian M. Cartwright) on a daily to weekly basis for the purpose of progress updates and mentoring	Betsy Pike, Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology Human Resources, at betsy.pike@cuanschutz.edu
03/13/2025	Jason Klein, MD, PhD	Our lab uses single-cell and high-throughput perturbation screens to understand how gene regulation contributes to the development, prognosis, and treatment of cutaneous cancers. We will be at the bridge of genomics and cutaneous oncology.	We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral Fellow to join the Klein Lab, part of the Department of Dermatology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The appointment will be for a two to three-year period. The main emphasis of this position will be working in the research areas of genomics, cancer biology, and patient-derived organoids. Experience in genomics and cancer biology, particularly single-cell sequencing, high-throughput screens, and tissue culture, is desired. Please reach out directly and/or apply through CU Careers. I am a surgeon-scientist and our lab will have unique access to patient samples and rare tumors, as well as clinical insight to cutaneous oncology.	Jason Klein, jason.klein@cuanschutz.edu
