Drs. Brandon Hadland and Barbara Varnum-Finney working in the lab

The Hadland Lab is always looking for curious and creative scientists to join us! If you are interested, please contact Dr. Hadland or follow links below for specific opportunities.

 

Postdoctoral and Medical Fellows

We are seeking highly qualified and motivated postdoctoral fellows to work in a collaborative environment leading research on the mechanisms of hematopoietic stem cell development and leukemogenesis. This position will focus on leveraging mouse models, human pluripotent stem cells, and engineered vascular models combined with single cell technologies and computational approaches to study the dynamics of normal developmental hematopoiesis and the prenatal origins of pediatric leukemias.  The position will provide opportunities to advance translational applications in the areas of gene and cellular therapies and disease modeling, and for collaborations with colleagues in UW Genome Sciences and Bioengineering.  This position is ideally suited for a candidate who enjoys working collaboratively across disciplines, mentoring junior scientific investigators, and contributing to an innovative academic environment to forge new scientific directions. Experience working with human pluripotent stem cells is desired. To apply, please email Dr. Hadland with your CV and cover letter specifying your interest in the lab.

The Hadland lab supports the research training of interested medical fellows in the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology and other Fellowship Programs at the Fred Hutch, UW, and Seattle Children's Hospital.

We also participate in the Seattle Children’s Postdoctoral Scholars Program for early career scientists interested in the development of therapeutics for childhood cancers.

Graduate and Medical Students

Dr. Hadland is affiliated with the University of Washington Molecular & Cellular Biology and Molecular Medicine and Mechanisms of Disease (M3D) Graduate Programs. If you are a current graduate student who would like to rotate in our laboratory, please email Dr. Hadland.  

We also support medical students interested in pursuing laboratory-based research as part of the UW School of Medicine Independent Investigative Inquiry Program.

High School and Undergraduate Students

Dr. Hadland serves as a faculty mentor with the Fred Hutchinson Summer Undergraduate Research Program, Pathways Undergraduate Reseach Program, and other research programs at the Fred Hutch for undergraduate and high school students

Our lab also participates in the Post-Baccalaureat Research Education Program (PREP) at the University of Washington.
