Position Description
This Post-Doctoral Fellow position is part of our broader efforts to transform how cancers are classified, diagnosed, and treated through multiplexed tissue imaging, spatial multi-omics, and AI-driven analytics. The successful candidate will lead projects aimed at dissecting the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern tumor progression, therapeutic response, and immune evasion across diverse cancer types, including rare and understudied malignancies. This position is expected to lead innovative studies advancing the molecular and spatial understanding of cancer; contribute to the development of image-based diagnostics and precision oncology strategies; publish findings in high-impact journals; and present at national/international meetings.
Basic Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, or a closely related field, with a strong emphasis on cancer research.
- Demonstrated expertise in molecular biology techniques and omics technologies.
- Experience with imaging technologies and computational data analysis preferred.
- Strong publication record and evidence of research independence.
- Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
Additional Qualifications
Must provide: CV; cover letter highlighting research interests and experience; contact information for three references
