The Laboratory of Genome Stability will launch in fall 2025 at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Temple University, in Philadelphia. Our laboratory is inviting applications from candidates with a Ph.D. to join our team and pursue exciting research focused on replicative genome stability. The successful candidate will investigate the sensors and effectors of DNA damage at the human replisome. In addition, we are interested in uncovering and characterizing non-canonical (moonlighting) functions of replisome components.
Replisome components and regulation of their dynamics are critical determinants of overall genome integrity and cellular homeostasis. Furthermore, we reason that cancers with high replication stress rely heavily on genome maintenance mechanisms involving replisome components. The candidate will lead these projects with the goal of identifying new therapeutic strategies for targeting cancers characterized by high replication stress.
Applicants with no prior experience in DNA damage or genome instability research are encouraged to apply if the topic excites you — we value diverse expertise and welcome new perspectives to our team.
Compensation will be determined based on the candidate’s education and relevant experience, and a comprehensive benefits package will be provided.
Preferred skills and experience.

The Gomez-Deza Lab is looking for an ambitious and productive Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the team.
Recent and soon-to graduate candidates with a Ph.D. degree from life science related fields and with record of publications are encouraged to apply.
Our team works on understanding the molecular mechanisms by which human neurons degenerate in health and disease. We induce degeneration by exposing the neurons to chemotherapeutic agents known to cause pain. However, our research is widely applicable to other neurodegenerative conditions such as glaucoma, traumatic brain injury or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). We employ a wide range of molecular and biochemical techniques including iPSC differentiation into human neurons, whole genome CRISPR interference screens, RNAseq, CRISPR knock-ins/ knock-outs and advanced microscopy.
We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in cellular and molecular biology. Experience in neuroscience, single cell RNAseq and iPSCs is desired but not required.
This is a unique opportunity to engage in groundbreaking research with the potential to significantly impact the treatment of neuropathic pain both during and after cancer treatment, as well as advance the broader field of neurodegeneration.
The position will be a dual appointment between Temple University in Philadelphia and the Fox Chase Cancer Center and is fully funded for three years. Health insurance, annual leave and VISA processing is included as part of the position.

The nuclear theory faculty consists of Martha Constantinou, Andreas Metz, and Farid Salazar, and our interests encompass perturbative and lattice QCD, hadron structure, and effective field theories. Faculty members in the experimental particle and nuclear physics group include Miguel Mostafá, Jim Napolitano, Nikos Sparveris, and Bernd Surrow. We encourage applications from underrepresented groups in physics and are committed to promoting a diverse, inclusive, and supportive academic environment.
We invite applications for a two-year postdoctoral position starting in September/October 2025 at the Department of Physics at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA. The successful candidate will work with Prof. Farid Salazar on advancing the research frontier of high-energy QCD/small-x physics.
Research avenues include higher-order loop computation, factorization and resummation, and phenomenology for collider experiments (HERA, RHIC, LHC, and the EIC) within small-x physics. Prior experience in these subjects is desirable but not mandatory. Applicants with broad interests and previous experience with QCD/hadron structure are encouraged to apply.
The required qualification for this job is a Ph.D. or equivalent in theoretical high-energy or nuclear physics, completed before the employment starting date. Review of the applications will start on December 15th, but applications received later will be considered until the position is filled.
Candidates must submit a cover letter, CV, list of publications, three letters of recommendation and a research statement via email to
