"Post Doctoral Scholar - Comprehensive Cancer Center"

Post Doctoral Scholar to pursue specialized research training and experience under the guidance of scientific mentor, Dr. Peter Chockley, at the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the Ohio State University.

Post Doctoral Scholar conducts research to characterize and understand the mechanisms of the chimeric antigen receptor augmented immune cells to target a broad range of malignancies. Understanding the basic mechanisms of tumorigenesis and cancer prevention, which will include the use of biochemistry, cell biology, immunology, molecular biology, proteomics, animal modeling and mouse genetics, translational medicine, and/or the use of human tumor models of cancers. Develops, adopts and implements new laboratory methods to evaluate the role of immune cell targeting/migration in complex environments.

Techniques employed will include, but not limited to: RNA-seq, TCGA, mRNA or protein expression, gene cloning and mutation detection. Participates in analyzing data for reports for the purpose of grants submissions; trains staff in molecular biology techniques and general laboratory skills; assists PI with grant proposals to obtain outside funding from state and federal agencies.

Education/Experience

A Doctoral degree in an appropriate discipline is required.
