What are the responsibilities and job description for the Post Doctoral Scholar - Radiation Oncology position at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center?
Current Employees and Students: Please log in to Workday to use the internal job search and application process.
The Liang Laboratory at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral scholars to join our team in exploring innovative strategies to enhance tumor immunogenicity and overcome resistance to immunotherapy.
Our research focuses on identifying metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer and developing metabolic interventions to convert immunologically “cold” tumors into “hot” tumors, thereby promoting immune recognition and response.
We are particularly interested in investigating both genetic and chemical approaches to enhance MHC class I–mediated antigen presentation in tumor cells, with the goal of increasing tumor visibility to cytotoxic immune cells.
Candidates will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge models and techniques in tumor immunology, cancer metabolism, and therapeutic development. Successful candidates will receive comprehensive training not only in experimental design and execution, but also in grant writing, scientific communication, and career development, with the final goal of preparing them for independent research careers in academia or industry.
Required Education
Doctoral Degree in the appropriate field or discipline, or the recognized terminal degree, or the equivalent foreign equivalent.
Preferred Experience
Experience in cancer biology, metabolism and immunology.
Experience in flow cytometry and scRNAseq.
Experience in CRISPR screening and/or drug screening.
Experience in mouse work, such as xenograft tumor models.
Ability to work and collaborate effectively with students, faculty and staff from a variety of culturally diverse backgrounds.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, resume, and contact information for three professional references through the online application.
Screen reader users may encounter difficulty with the online application. For assistance with applying, please contact hr-accessibleapplication@osu.edu. If you have questions while submitting an application, please review these frequently asked questions.
Thank you for your interest in working at Ohio State.
Final candidates are subject to successful completion of a background check. A drug screen or physical may be required during the post offer process.
The university is an equal opportunity employer, including veterans and disability.
