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 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.
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.

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.

It’s appealing that Morgridge is at the intersection of a private institute, a great public university, and the Madison bioscience industry. We can take advantage of all three worlds.

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