Postdoctoral Associate | Bradbury Laboratory

Job Description

We are seeking a Ph.D. for a Postdoctoral Associate with at least 2 years of experience in cancer immunology and molecular genetics. Specifically, candidates will be expected to be experienced in, but not limited to, genetic engineering approaches, qRT-PCR, cytokine profiling, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, 10+ color immunophenotyping, imaging techniques, and advanced in vitro models (i.e., 3D cultures, organoids). The ideal candidate should have knowledge of ex-vivo immunological assays that can assess activation and functional status of various cell populations within the tumor (or other pathologic) microenvironments. Understanding the immunomodulatory effects associated with an engineered immune and nano-based constructs that promote enhanced therapeutic responses is desirable. Familiarity with theranostic applications in oncology and experience with in vivo immunological procedures is required. The candidate will 1) profile molecular-genetic changes affecting diseased cell populations, as against normal cells, following exposure to immune and/or particle constructs, as well as 2) utilize these readouts to inform desirable in vivo studies and combinatorial treatment strategies. The prospective candidate will be exposed to a dynamic environment focused on product translation to the clinic and will gain invaluable experience across a wide variety of subjects by working closely with a collegial, highly motivated, multidisciplinary team including immunologists, oncologists, pathologists, chemists, and materials scientists. Interested candidates should email their CV and cover letter to msb2006@med.cornell.edu.
