Postdoc -Thoracic Head & Neck Medical Oncology - Houston, United States - MD Anderson Cancer Center
Description
Postdoctoral Fellow - Thoracic and Head &Neck Medical Oncology - KRAS -mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Postdoctoral positions are available to study molecular mechanisms associated with therapeutic response and resistance to RAS inhibition in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the laboratory of Ferdinandos Skoulidis, MD, Ph.
The lab is largely interested in understanding the molecular diversity of KRAS-mutant NSCLC and developing rational and tailored treatment strategies for patients bearing KRAS-mutant lung tumors.
We utilize a multifaceted approach that encompasses preclinical studies in immune-competent syngeneic and genetically engineered co-mutational models of KRAS-mutant NSCLC as well as PDX/CDXs, in vitro models and large collections of well-annotated clinical specimens.
We employ state-of-the-art computational biology/bioinformatics approaches to dissect acute and adaptive responses to RAS inhibition in vitro and in vivo.
We are committed to a question-driven approach that seeks to address the most urgent clinically relevant scientific questions.Applicants with experience in any of these areas and a true passion for cutting-edge bench-to-bedside research are encouraged to apply and provide three professional references.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Trainees will perform basic and translational research involving molecular biology approaches (such as CRISPR/Cas technology, Western blotting, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry), in vitro assays (such as drug screening, flow cytometry, and development of resistant cell lines), and in vivo experiments using xenograft, syngeneic and genetically engineered mouse models of KRAS-mutant lung cancer.
Candidates with prior experience in computational biology will acquire additional skills and be involved in the analysis of single-cell RNA Sequencing, WES, and in situ transcriptomics data.
Trainees will present their findings at regular lab meetings, departmental seminars, and national conferences. Trainees will submit their findings for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Applications are invited from qualified individuals interested in working in a translational research lab; with a PhD and/or MD.
The ideal candidate(s) should have less than 2 years of prior postdoctoral experience and have a background in cancer or cell and molecular biology.
Experience in RAS signaling and targeting and studies involving mouse models of KRAS-driven cancers is preferred.We are also looking for applicants with prior expertise in computational biology and bioinformatics including analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data and in situ transcriptomics.
Candidates should be innovative thinkers and highly motivated to pursue an independent career in biomedical research.Job Knowledge And Skills
