The Recht Lab in the Department of Neurology at Stanford University is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join a translational neuroscience research team focused on malignant glioma. This position involves studying tumor metabolism, redox biology, and tissue homeostasis using advanced MRI and MRS techniques, including dynamic redox imaging and spectroscopy-based metabolites’ evaluation.

The candidate will work with preclinical glioma models to investigate novel therapeutic strategies and radiation. The goal is to explore a paradigm shift from the somatic mutation theory of cancer to a wound-healing and metabolic reprogramming model.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Performing animal surgeries, including intracranial tumor implantation

  • Acquisition and analysis of MRI/MRS data

  • Conducting histological validation and tissue analysis

  • Maintaining and culturing glioma and normal brain cell lines

  • Assisting with experimental design and data interpretation

  • Preparing manuscripts, figures, and contributing to grant applications

  • Participating in lab meetings, journal clubs, and collaborations

Required Qualifications:

  • M.D. or Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Cancer Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Radiology, or a related field

  • Experience in MRI/MRS and neuro-oncology preferred

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Demonstrated ability to work both independently and collaboratively

Required Application Materials:

  • Curriculum Vitae (CV)

  • Cover Letter describing research interests and career goals

  • Contact information for 3 references
