1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The candidate will have opportunity to develop innovative statistical methods in clinical trial design and variable selection methods in high dimensional data that will predict clinical outcomes and meta-analyses. The successful candidate will collaborate with investigators within and outside Duke University. The objectives of the projects are: to identify and validate surrogate endpoints of overall survival using data from cancer clinical trials in patients with cancer; to identify and validate predictive biomarkers of clinical outcomes in cancer; and perform meta- analyses using the Bayesian framework. The projects will lead to both collaborative and methodological publications in high- quality, peer-reviewed journals.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available within the Cancer Cell Initiation and Cell Behavior Laboratory (CCICB, Department of Surgery/Duke University)and the Center for Applied Therapeutics. Drs. Snyder and Lyerly are leading federally funded projects supporting high impact studies to visualize single cell behavior and cell-cell communication programs during tumorigenesis. Our team utilizes advanced whole organ imaging, scRNAseq, and spatial transcriptomics for reconstructing tumor initiation programs at the single cell level. Recent high-impact work has utilized our novel Cancer rainbow (Crainbow) platform for exploring the earliest phase of tumorigenesis in the colon and the mammary gland (PMIDs: 31792216 and 34131071).
