The position will also be relied upon to ensure the lab space is maintained, data and records are organized, and that the purchasing of required supplies is completed.

Interested candidates should email John Morris (jpmiv@email.unc.edu) to discuss projects and opportunities.


Students

Interested in the intersection of cancer, cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology? Students are welcome to rotate in the Morris lab to investigate the emergence of aberrant, malignant identities of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and to explore novel therapeutic targets and strategies that reflect evolutionary paths to malignancy and cancer maintenance in PDAC. Email John Morris (jpmiv@email.unc.edu) to discuss projects and opportunities.
