Postdoctoral Fellow - Laboratory of Dr. Thales Papagiannakopoulos
Job Details
The Papagiannakopoulos Lab is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to investigate the genetic, metabolic, and physiological mechanisms that drive lung cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance. Our laboratory integrates in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering, genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs), cancer metabolism, tumor immunology, and systems physiology to understand how oncogenic mutations reshape tumor biology and the tumor microenvironment.
The successful candidate will lead innovative projects using in vivo CRISPR screening, mouse cancer models, molecular and cellular approaches, and multi-omics analyses to uncover new mechanisms linking cancer genetics, metabolism, and immune regulation. This position offers the opportunity to develop independent research directions while working within a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment with access to state-of-the-art genomics, metabolomics, and imaging resources.
We are seeking candidates who are intellectually curious, creative, and highly driven, with a strong record of scientific accomplishment. Ideal applicants will have expertise in cancer biology, immunology, metabolism, genetics, or related fields, and experience with mouse models, functional genomics, or advanced molecular and cellular biology techniques. The successful fellow will be expected to lead ambitious projects, contribute to collaborative studies, publish in leading scientific journals, and compete for independent fellowships and career development awards.
This position provides a highly supportive training environment for scientists interested in pursuing independent careers in academia, biotechnology, or translational cancer research, with strong mentorship and opportunities to develop leadership, grant writing, and collaborative research skills.
