04/08/2026 | Yiquin Shellman, PhD and Richard Wang, MD, PhD | The laboratory investigates fundamental mechanisms of cellular aging, stress response, and cancer biology with a particular emphasis on skin-relevant systems. Using mammalian cell culture and advanced microscopy-based approaches, the research program | We seek a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join a research laboratory studying fundamental mechanisms of cellular aging, stress response, and cancer biology, with a strong emphasis on skin‑relevant systems. The position involves using mammalian cell culture and advanced microscopy‑based approaches to investigate how intracellular membrane and vesicle trafficking pathways are regulated in normal and disease contexts. A major focus is on defining how a scaffold protein coordinates membrane dynamics, signaling, and vesicular transport to regulate cellular homeostasis during aging and tumorigenesis. This position is supported by an NIH T32 training grant; therefore, candidates must meet eligibility requirements for T32 funding. | Jennifer Nevener at Jennifer.Nevener@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 | |

10/28/2025 | Nancy F. Krebs, MD, MS, Ihuoma Eneli, MD, MS, and Kristen E. Boyle, PhD | This postdoctoral fellowship is based at a leading academic medical center and is designed for MDs and PhDs pursuing academic careers in nutrition-related research. | We especially encourage physician applicants who are interested in integrating clinical expertise with research training to address critical questions in nutrition science and health. Trainees will develop the skills to become independent investigators in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. Our mentors span diverse areas including: • Basic and human laboratory-based research • Behavioral sciences • Epidemiology and health disparities • Multi-omics (e.g., epigenetics, gut microbiome, metabolomics, foodomics) • Implementation science across the lifespan external link | NutritionT32@cuanschutz.edu |
