Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Freed-Pastor Lab
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Boston, MA
Full Time
The Freed-Pastor Laboratory at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School is seeking a highly motivated, creative, and collaborative postdoctoral research fellow to join the team. The Freed-Pastor lab investigates how pancreatic cancer escapes immune eradication to guide novel therapies for pancreatic cancer patients. The lab utilizes cutting edge technologies (single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, CRISPR engineering) paired with in vivo animal model systems and human patient-derived biospecimen. The candidate should have a strong background in immunology, cancer biology, molecular biology, and/or computational biology. Experience with mouse models, single-cell transcriptomics, multiplexed imaging, and/or spatial transcriptomics are preferred (but not required).
Responsibilities
- Lead independent research projects.
- Report progress and track deliverables.
- Develop innovative approaches to advance the field of tumor immunology and pancreatic cancer treatment.
- Help to train, supervise, and mentor staff as needed.
Qualifications
Minimum qualifications include:
- Ph.D., M.D., M.D./Ph.D., or doctoral equivalent in a relevant field (biology, immunology, cancer biology, or equivalent).
- Demonstrated scientific contributions to the field.
- Proven ability to solve challenging technical problems.
- Clarity of thought in written and oral communication skills.
