Candidate must be passionate about contributing to cutting-edge projects in Proteomics, Medicinal Chemistry, Cell Biology. Enabled by internal and external resources, postdoc members are highly encouraged to develop their independent projects and grants.
Interested candidate should email their 1) CV, 2) cover letter, 3) contact information of 3 references to Tom for consideration.
Postdoc position available: https://jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/259703
Graduate Student
Current graduate students are encouraged to reach out to Tom for rotation opportunities in mass spectrometry, chemical synthesis, biochemistry, PTM biology, and drug discovery.
Prospective students should apply to the Graduate Program in Medicinal Chemistry, https://pharmacy.rutgers.edu/programs/graduate-program-in-medicinal-chemistry/
Undergraduate Student
Curious undergraduates are encouraged to reach out to Tom for learning and research opportunities, even if you are not sure. The lab is interdisciplinary enough to provide science exposure of your interest, regardless of your prior experience. Undergraduate researchers are expected to team with an existing lab scientists (e.g. postdoc or PhD student) and to potentially publish co-authored papers.
Visiting Scholars/Student
Limited positions for Visiting Scholars are available in the lab to advance academic communications and partnerships between institutions/countries. At the individual level, the visit is expected to must benefit and broaden the scholar’s research skills, and secondarily to benefit the scholar’s academic career development. Scholars are typically self-sufficient and may be funded by a government, industry, institution, fellowship, or other mechanisms. A minimum visit of 6 months is preferred, and scholars will be equally supported for conducting research and publishing papers.
2026 Summer Intern
A funded intern by Center for Biomedical Informatics & Health Artificial Intelligence (BMIHAI) is open to applications. This opportunity is open to current Rutgers BS and MS students who are interested in Bioinformatics and Proteomics Data Science. Internship duration is June 1 – July 31, 2026.
