06/09/2026 | Mitchell Cohen MD Professor of Surgery | NIH/DoD/DARPA-funded lab studying trauma-induced coagulopathy and thromboinflammation. Focus on protein C biology, endothelial dysfunction, and novel therapeutics. Translational approach spans human biorepository, cell, mouse models, and multiomics. | The Cohen Lab at CU Anschutz seeks a postdoctoral fellow to be supported by the NIH T32 Critical Injury and Illness Training Program. The multiple R01-funded project centers on the protein C pathway as the mechanistic bridge between trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) and thromboinflammation. Work uses human trauma biorepository samples, validated mouse models of hemorrhagic shock, a 3D endothelial flow model, and high-throughput proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. Projects include therapeutic modulation of APC activity via nanobodies and engineered variants, endothelial barrier and calcium signaling assays, and multiomic phenotyping of post-injury states. Candidates should hold a PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, or bioengineering with experience in endothelial cell models, microfluidic/flow systems, rodent models, and/or multiomics. Strong interest in translational research at the intersection of coagulation, inflammation, and therapeutics is required. | mitchell.cohen@cuanschutz.edu | |

05/29/2026 | Laurel Lenz, Professor of Immunology and Microbiology | Our lab investigates basic molecular mechanisms for control of inflammatory responses (focusing on myeloid, NK cells, and cytokines) towards identifying new approaches to manipulate inflammation in infections and other acute and chronic diseases. | Motivated, industrious, and curious candidates with strong communication, reasoning, and laboratory skills will be considered. Experience in molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, and/or biochemistry could be a good fit for one or more ongoing projects in the lab. | laurel.lenz@cuanschutz.edu | |

11/04/2025 | Edward Lau | Our research studies protein homeostasis and dynamics using proteomics and bioinformatics methods. Current projects include spatial proteomics of organelle-specific proteostatic response, and deep learning predictions of protein levels from RNA-seq. | A fully funded Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the lab of Dr. Edward Lau at the University of Colorado School of Medicine (external link ). Our research uses genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics approaches to study protein synthesis, degradation, and localization, and how these dynamic parameters alter in aging and diseases. We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow who is experienced in quantitative life science research. The ideal candidate should have experience performing original research in one or more areas related to gene expression regulation, mass spectrometry-based proteomics, protein degradation, or human induced pluripotent stem cell models. We are seeking applicants who are passionate about performing research in an academic setting, show excellent organizational skills, able to work both independently and in a team setting, dedicated to maintaining a healthy and respectful workplace. | edward.lau@cuanschutz.edu |
