We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Fellow to conduct hands-on research focused on early detection and biomarker discovery in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
The candidate will play a key role in ongoing clinical trials, with an emphasis on identifying and validating biomarkers for early-stage detection.
This position involves close interaction with other ovarian cancer early detection network collaborators to translate these findings into potential early detection strategies.
In addition to assay development, the Postdoctoral Fellow will investigate the biological mechanisms that drive cancer progression or dormancy.
Responsibilities include performing experiments, analyzing data, and preparing manuscripts, as well as participating in lab meetings, journal clubs, and research seminars.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The Postdoctoral Fellow will contribute to integrating mechanistic insights with clinical trial data, while also receiving training in study design, advanced data analysis, and manuscript preparation.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Individuals with a PhD degree in cancer biology, molecular biology, genetics, immunology, or related fields with less than 2 years of postdoctoral experience.
Experience with rodent studies is required for this role. Candidate should have strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects.
Proven track record of publications, excellent written and oral communication skills are required.
