Join to apply for the Research Scientist - Comprehensive Cancer Center role at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Recruiting a highly motivated and creative Research Scientist to join the Yang Lab, focused on tumor immunology, tumor microenvironment and tumor immunotherapy. The lab aims to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate immune responses in cancer, with a particular focus on tumor‑infiltrating immune cells and the dynamic interactions between tumor cells, stromal cells, and the immune microenvironment.

We are part of a vibrant research community with collaborations across immunology, oncology, genomics, and translational medicine. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to lead projects using state‑of‑the‑art techniques such as CRISPR screening, multi‑omics, high‑parameter flow cytometry, in vivo models, and translational studies.

The Research Scientist will act as an expert and resource in cancer genetics research; conceptualize, design, implement, evaluate, and direct research on cancer, including advanced molecular biology, cellular biology, immunology, and animal study techniques. Duties include developing and adopting new laboratory methods, hypothesis development, experimental design, grant proposal writing as principal investigator, grant administration and budgeting, troubleshooting, staff and researcher advising, educational workshops, data analysis methodology development, manuscript preparation, conference presentations, supervision of graduate students and staff, and training junior investigators.
