Education and Training

Post Doctoral Training
We currently have positions available for highly qualified post-doctoral scientists interested in brain tumor stem cell research. Interested applicants should have excellent skills in molecular biology and a strong desire to participate in projects aimed at making progress towards understanding and treating cancers. Please send your CV and references to Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa (aquinon2@jhmi.edu).

Graduate Student Training
Excellent dissertation project opportunities exist in our laboratory for brain cancer stem cell research. Students currently enrolled in the any of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Graduate programs are welcome to plan research rotations within our laboratory. Students in the MD/PhD program or graduate programs of Biochemistry, Cellular & Molecular Biology, Cellular & Molecular Medicine, and Neuroscience, or other programs are welcome to discuss research opportunities in the laboratory.

Neurosurgery and Neurooncology laboratory research fellows
Our laboratory provides opportunities for clinical fellows seeking a research project in brain cancer stem cell laboratory research. The Johns Hopkins Department of Neurosurgery provides a two-year research opportunity for residents and this laboratory provides one of many flexible environments for ground-breaking research in neurooncology. Also at Johns Hopkins in combination with the NIH is an NIH funded training grant, Research Training in Neurooncology, which provides a means for clinical fellows to gain new experiences in clinical care and laboratory research.
