Postdoctoral Fellow - Gastroenterology Research

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the department of Gastroenterology. Developing Non-Invasive Strategies for Colorectal Cancer Surveillance in Lynch Syndrome. The Postdoctoral fellow position centers on addressing a critical gap in Lynch syndrome (LS) care: the incomplete prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC) by colonoscopy alone, particularly in carriers of MLH1 and MSH2 variants whose tumors may arise through accelerated, non-adenomatous pathways. The program aims to move LS surveillance from a one-size-fits-all colonoscopy-based model toward a precision prevention strategy that leverages non-invasive biomarkers tailored to each patient's genetic and clinical profile.
All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.
