01/10/2022	Sana Karam, M.D., Ph.D.	The position will involve translational research aimed at understanding immunological mechanisms of response and resistance in the tumor microenvironment. Knowledge of flow cytometry and other immunological techniques is a must.	Qualified candidates should have a recent Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Immunology, Cancer Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or related field. Self-motivation, commitment to scientific research, ability to learn new techniques, and excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential. Applicant should be proficient with computers. Experience with flow cytometry, cell culture, western blotting, immunohistochemistry, PCR and animal models, including handling, colony management and genotyping strongly preferred. Position will include conducting research experiments, data management, molecular biology assays, writing grants and papers, and other duties as assigned.	Questions about the posting can be addressed with John Sohrweid at John.Sohrweid@cuanschutz.edu.
12/07/2021	Katie Rennie, Ph.D.	We study how the vestibular system of the inner ear mediates the sense of balance	An NIH R01-funded post-doctoral position is available in the department of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery in the Rennie lab at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, Colorado. Currently there is little known about mechanisms underlying vestibular dysfunction during aging. Experiments will investigate the properties of vestibular hair cells and associated afferent neurons in aging rodents. This position will be based primarily in Dr. Katie Rennie’s lab as part of a collaborative effort with Dr. Anthony Peng’s lab. Minimum qualifications for candidates include a MD or Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Neurophysiology, Cell Biology, Bioengineering or a similar field. Experience in patch clamp electrophysiology, rodent handling, inner ear biology, immunohistochemistry and/or surface electrode recordings are preferred, but not essential. Ideal candidates are highly motivated and articulate team players.	katie.rennie@cuanschutz.edu (303 724 3070); soumontha.chanthaphonh@cuanschutz.edu
10/22/2021	Robert Slover, MD	The fellow will be trained in advanced skills in the practice of psychology and in the integration of research and clinical services in a center dedicated to the medical and psychological treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with T1D	A clinical and research postdoctoral fellow position in the field of pediatric diabetes is available in the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes (Pediatric Division), at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. This 2-year long position is funded by a NIH T32 Institutional National Research Award (NRSA). The fellow will receive systematic training in the specialized knowledge and skills related to the management of type 1 diabetes with a specific emphasis on the implementation of adherence, integrated behavioral health, and other behavioral (e.g., fear of hypoglycemia) interventions. The fellow will receive four core training experiences: research, clinical care, research program development, and teaching and consultation. Approximately 75% of the fellow’s time will be spent on research through participation on existing NIH-funded grants and through development of new research projects, with the other 25% spent in direct clinical care.	Please email BOTH: Robert Slover, MD - robert.slover@cuanschutz.edu Paul Wadwa, MD - paul.wadwa@cuanschutz.edu
09/22/2021	Raphael Nemenoff, PhD	The Nemenoff laboratory is focused on examining molecular pathways that regulate the progression and metastasis of lung cancer.	This position reports directly to Dr. Raphael Nemenoff in the Division of Renal Diseases and Hypertension and is responsible for designing and conducting experiments to explore the role of the tumor microenvironment in mediating therapeutic response in preclinical models of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). The project uses an orthotopic immunocompetent model of lung cancer to study mechanisms associated with response to both immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Our group has developed a panel of murine models and murine lung cancer cells comprising the major oncogenic drivers of human NSCLC. Proposed studies focus on the defining critical interactions that determine the depth and duration of response to specific therapeutic approaches.

08/09/2021	Alireza Vahid Assistant Professor Electrical Engineering	· Communications with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces · Capacity of broadcast and interference channels with feedback · Signal detection and classification	The broad area of research is Wireless Networking, Network Information Theory, and Applications of Machine Learning in Wireless Communications. I am specifically interested in candidates who have worked on one or more of the following problems: · Communications with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces · Capacity of broadcast and interference channels with feedback · Signal detection and classification There are also open PhD positions in my research lab.	Interested candidates are encouraged to send their most recent CV including full list of publications and a list of recommenders, their unofficial transcript(s), and TOEFL/GRE scores to: alireza.vahid@ucdenver.edu Alireza Vahid, PhD www.alirezavahid.com Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering University of Colorado Denver
05/28/2021	Mary Weiser-Evans, PhD, FAHA	The Weiser-Evans laboratory uses fate-mapping genetic approaches combined with molecular analyses such as spatial transcriptomics, RNA-Seq, ChIP, and CyTOF mass cytometry to define mechanisms regulating cardiovascular disease progression.	In vivo mouse genetic approaches are complemented by in vitro studies. Human tissues are used to validate findings from pre-clinical studies in order to define the translational significance of our findings. Select projects include defining the role of PTEN promoter hypermethylation as a key regulator of cardiovascular disease progression as well as defining the mechanisms driving smooth muscle-to-stem cell reprogramming, determining the distinct functions of SMC-derived stem cells in the maintenance and repair of the vessel wall as well as their role in disease progression. Applicants should be highly motivated, detail-oriented, with excellent communication, writing, and organizational skills. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree in life sciences.

08/28/2020	Nutrition T32 - Nancy F. Krebs, MD (PI)	Research training in nutritional sciences for physician scientists, basic researchers, & behavioral scientists who are committed to prevention of disease and health promotion through careers in human nutrition.	This post-doctoral fellowship is based in a large academic medical center and seeks trainees with MD or PhD seeking an academic career in Nutrition-related research. Trainees develop skills to become independent investigators in a multi-disciplinary environment that includes mentors in basic and human lab-based research, behavioral sciences, epidemiology, health disparities, multi-omics (e.g. foodomics, epigenetics, gut microbiome, metabolomics) and implementation sciences.
