We are seeking a motivated and committed post-doctoral fellow to join our pediatric cancer research team, effective September 2020. The research project will investigate mechanisms of sarcoma metatasis. In particular, it will focus on discovering how reprogramming of metabolic stress response pathways drives tumor heterogeneity and disease progression. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in the fundamentals of cancer biology and advanced knowledge and skills in cell signaling, genetics, and/or cellular metabolism. Experience with tumor xenograft models or a strong commitment to learn these skills is also essential. Responsibilities of the role will include development and execution of in vitro and in vivo research, data collection and analysis, manuscript and fellowship application preparation, and training in the conduct of research rigor and reproducibility.
