Postdoctoral Position in Translational Cancer Research
A postdoctoral position is available at Henry Ford Health for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our translational research team studying lung and ovarian cancers. Our lab focuses on uncovering the molecular mechanisms of cancer development, metabolic reprogramming and therapy resistance, with the ultimate goal of identifying combinatorial strategies for improving treatment outcome. We utilize state-of-the-art functional genetics, genomic and metabolic approaches, and both cell line and mouse models to investigate cancer initiation, progression, and mechanisms of resistance.
Preferred expertise in cancer biology, molecular biology, metabolomics, immunology, animal models, and/or drug discovery.
- Molecular mechanisms driving metabolic reprogramming in lung and ovarian cancers
- Identification and validation of pathways/molecules driving therapy resistance and treatment outcome.
- Development and application of animal models of therapy-resistant cancer (xenografts, PDX)
- Design and conduct experiments, analyze data, and publish high-quality findings
- Prepare manuscripts and present results at lab meetings, conferences, and seminars
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team while maintaining independence in projects
- Mentor junior researchers and contribute to a well-organized laboratory environment
- Stay up-to-date with scientific advances to drive research innovation
- Strong experimental and analytical skills, especially in preclinical models.
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Highly motivated, detail-oriented, and committed to advancing cancer research
This position provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to impactful translational cancer research in a collaborative and supportive environment, while developing new skills and progressing toward research independence.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references.
