Join our growing Lab in Nashville!

The Holowatyj Lab/Team has immediate openings for two funded postdoctoral fellows at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center & Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center!

Clinical/Translational GI Oncology Research: 

Our team is seeking a motivated individual with a doctoral degree and experience in clinical/translational oncology research to join our diverse and interdisciplinary team on an NIH T32-funded postdoctoral fellowship! Ongoing research projects focus on cancers diagnosed among adults younger than age 50 years (early-onset cancers), with particular interest in: cancer biology and colorectal cancer survivorship. This position will involve participation in international consortia, project management and grant applications; rich training resources and methods, as well as experienced mentors

Cancer Biology:

The Holowatyj Lab seeks a postdoctoral research fellow to lead a project defining the biological basis of early-onset cancers and rare GI cancers in patient-derived organoid model systems. This is a multi-year, fully-funded position that will use patient samples, organoid models, and cultured primary cells to define tissue equivalent organoids and leverage these models to dissect distinct molecular pathways in carcinogenesis. Ideal applicants will have a strong background in molecular biology, genomics, and/or cancer biology with proficiency in mammalian cell culture, organoid culture, and a strong interest in translational oncology projects that interface with clinical study participants.

Contact Dr. Holowatyj with informal inquiries or a single pdf containing your statement of interest, current CV, two publications, and contact information for two references—including a current supervisor.

The Holowatyj Lab is open to Master's & PhD students for research rotations/projects! 

Interested individuals should contact Dr. Holowatyj for further discussion of ongoing projects and active research opportunities.

The Holowatyj Lab has openings for medical students, undergraduates, and postbaccalaureate students at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center & Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center!

Our team is always seeking diverse and motivated students for unique, immersive clinical, translational and basic science experiences at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. Ongoing research projects are centered upon the biology, genetics and clinical characteristics of cancers diagnosed among adults younger than age 50 years (early-onset cancers).
