What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Fellow in Cancer Biology position at Moffitt Cancer Center?
Summary
Postdoctoral Fellow in Cancer Biology
A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Douglas Cress’ group at Moffitt Cancer Center Department of Molecular Oncology.
Research in Dr. Cress’ lab is focused on molecular mechanisms driving breast and lung cancer aggressiveness. This postdoctoral position will support an R01 (CA266046) that seeks to understand the role of centrosome‐mitotic kinases in breast cancer aggressiveness and as a therapeutic approach against breast cancers in populations with elevated mortality.
The lab uses a wide range of approaches in our projects: patient-derived tissue collections, tissue microarrays, multi-spectral immunofluorescence, in vitro cell culture models, patient-derived organoid models, and genomic/transcriptomic/proteomic/metabolomic techniques.
The Ideal Candidate
If you have the vision, passion, and dedication to contribute to our mission,
then we have a place for you.
