** Summary
* *** Postdoctoral Fellow – Nguyen Lab
** Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute is Florida’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. We strive to be a leader in understanding the complexity of cancer through team science and translating scientific discoveries into meaningful advances for patients.  
** Summary of the Lab and Research
** The laboratory of Dr. Duy T. Nguyen in the Department of Bio Engineering at Moffitt Cancer Center is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to lead experimental research at the interface of cancer biology, tumor microenvironment, and bioengineering.

We aim to develop advanced
* in vitro
* and
* ex vivo
* tumor models to investigate how the tumor microenvironment regulates cancer progression, treatment response, and therapeutic resistance. A major emphasis of this project is to integrate bioengineered 3D tumor models with advanced microscopy and systems biology approaches to investigate cancer through a physical sciences lens.

The successful candidate will take a leading role in the design, execution, and analysis of a collaborative cancer research project. The position is ideal for a cancer researcher seeking to develop greater scientific independence in a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment.  
** Position Highlights
*** Lead a multidisciplinary research project involving experimental cancer biology, bioengineered tumor models, and/or patient-derived tumor specimens.
* Design and execute experiments and contribute intellectually to the overall scientific direction of the project.
* Gain experience with advanced three-dimensional tumor models, patient-derived microtumors, quantitative microscopy, and other technologies developed within the laboratory.
* Work in the highly collaborative and translational environment of an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, providing opportunities to interact with cancer biologists, engineers, physician-scientists, and other collaborators.
* Develop scientific leadership through mentoring junior laboratory members and coordinating experimental activities across collaborative teams.
* Present research findings at departmental seminars, scientific symposia, and national and international conferences.
* Prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to grant applications and future research proposals.
* Receive mentorship and support for career development, including opportunities to pursue postdoctoral fellowships, training grants, and other independent funding mechanisms.  
** The Ideal Candidate
*** Have passion and research experience in cancer biology, tumor microenvironment, cancer therapeutics, treatment resistance, or related areas.
* Have demonstrated scientific productivity through peer-reviewed publications, including first-author research articles.
* Are highly organized and detail-oriented, with demonstrated ability to plan experiments, coordinate multiple research activities, prioritize tasks, maintain accurate records, and consistently meet project milestones and deadlines.
* Are capable of independently managing a research project…
