Morgridge Institute for Research
Current Openings:
Bioethics Investigator
The Morgridge Institute for Research, part of the dynamic research community at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison), seeks an investigator (assistant or associate professor equivalent) to contribute to the Bioethics Theme at the Institute and to the intellectual community at the UW–Madison.
Community Engagement Student Assistant
Community engagement at the Morgridge Institute is linked with our mission to spark scientific curiosity and to serve society in partnership with UW-Madison. For us, “community” includes students, teachers, researchers, and the public, which means that our work isn’t limited to a laboratory.
Postdoctoral Research Associate – Metabolism, Biotechnology and Functional Genomics
In the Cantor lab, our guiding hypothesis is that existing model systems have masked critical insights into human cell-environment interactions. We test this through a variety of approaches at the interface of basic biology and engineering – integrating our efforts in tool development with methods in biochemistry, systems biology, functional genomics, and chemical genetics. Our broad goals are to better understand the role of environmental factors in basic human cell physiology and drug sensitivity – with a particular focus on blood cancers and normal immune cells.
Research Administrator
The Research Administrator provides high-level strategic coordination and administrative leadership for the Coon Laboratory in collaboration with the Metabolism Theme at the Morgridge Institute. This role will provide support to the Metabolism Theme and associated research groups as needed. This position manages day-to-day laboratory activities for the Coon group, oversees comprehensive research budgets, and facilitates collaborative research to advance the group’s mission.
