Morgridge Institute for Research
Assistant Scientist
We are seeking a highly motivated scientist with published experience in animal research, imaging, and/or histological techniques, with an exceptional background in molecular biology. The Poss lab utilizes zebrafish and, occasionally, mice as model systems to study regeneration of appendages, heart muscle, spinal cord, and other organ systems. The Assistant Scientist will support regenerative biology research objectives by conducting research on molecular genetics of tissue regeneration.
Assistant Professor in Metabolism Research
The Morgridge Institute for Research, in partnership with the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, seeks a joint tenure track assistant professor to lead a vibrant metabolism-focused research program.
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.
Morgridge scientists and staff are deeply engaged with a world-class public university. We are a catalyst to take science further in collaborations with UW–Madison.
Life at Morgridge
”
My goals are to be happy with my work, do the best science I can possibly do, and contribute to the well-being of others. Morgridge allows me to do that.
Johan den Boon Virology Research Investigator

I enjoy that Morgridge supports execution of new ideas and visions, even if that means altering how we’ve done things in the past.
