Post-Doctoral Fellow - McGinnis Lab
About The Position
The Wistar Institute has an opening for an ambitious and productive Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the laboratory of Dr. Christopher McGinnis. We seek to recruit a highly motivated candidate to study tumor-immune interactions during metastasis in breast cancer and osteosarcoma. The successful candidate will use cutting-edge technologies, including single-cell genomics, high-throughput drug screening, ex vivo tissue culture systems, and in vivo mouse models to better understand how tumors co-opt the immune system during metastasis. The long-term goal of this research is to translate basic biological insights to the development of anti-metastatic immunotherapies. The successful candidate will work in a dynamic scientific environment with ample opportunities for interactions with leading investigators in cancer biology, tumor immunology, immunometabolism, and advanced therapeutics through programmatic funding mechanisms.
Requirements
