Job Description
POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, THERAPEUTICS FOR CANCER IN VIVO, Program in Media Arts and Sciences-Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek, to join the research group of Professor Deblina Sarkar and bring experience studying the effect of therapeutics (chemotherapy/immunotherapy/radiation/others) for cancer, both in vitro and in vivo in mice. Will also bring expertise in biological techniques to studying the underlying mechanism regarding the effect of treatment; study the effect of novel therapeutics for cancer both in vitro and in vivo in mice and study the underlying mechanisms; and write research grants.
A full job description is available here.
Job Requirements
REQUIRED: Ph.D. in biology, bioengineering, neuroscience, materials science, electrical/electronics engineering, or relevant field; experience creating mouse models of tumors; experience studying the effect of therapeutics (chemotherapy/immunotherapy/radiation, etc.) for cancer both in vitro and in vivo; experience studying related mechanisms through analysis of transcriptome, stemness, invasiveness, migration, cancer pathways, ROS production, etc.; experience with techniques such as gene sequencing, PCR, Western blot, etc.; experience with in vivo methods such as MRI and IVIS; expertise with in vivo animal models; and experience with testing in cultured cells. PREFERRED: experience with PDX models, neuro-oncology, and immune engineering; experience with stem cells, neurospheres, or organoids; experience in the study of electric field in tumors, recording electrical/ionic signaling from cells, and drug delivery; experience with statistical analysis and genetic manipulation (cell line engineering, GEVIs, etc.); and experience with single-cell sequencing. Job #22644
This is a one-year appointment with the possibility of extension based on the course of the research.
