Overview
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Cancer Immunology Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center & Department of Surgery, Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami A postdoctoral research position is immediately available in the newly relocated laboratory of Dr. Rumela Chakrabarti at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Department of Surgery at the Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami. The successful candidate will join a dynamic and well-funded team investigating the function of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment that drive drug resistance in breast cancer. Research Focus
Research Focus:
The Chakrabarti lab studies the intricate cell signaling pathways between immune cells and cancer stem cells in breast cancer. We utilize a variety of cutting-edge technologies and models to address fundamental questions in onco-immunology. For a detailed list of our research topics, please see the recent publications linked below. The position offers an excellent opportunity for a committed candidate to contribute to a solid research program with clear project goals and strong support for career development. Key Research Techniques & Models Mouse models:
Knockout, conditional knockout, transgenic, and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice.
Cell culture models:
2D and 3D patient-derived organoids, as well as co-culture organoid systems involving stem and immune cells.
Advanced technologies:
Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, multiplex IHC/IF.
Molecular biology techniques:
PCR, Western blot, DNA and RNA isolation.
Immunology techniques:
Flow cytometry and other methods.
Qualifications PhD or MD/PhD in a relevant field.
Proven expertise in molecular biology techniques and cell culture.
Excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills, including fluency in written and spoken English.
Experience with mouse models is strongly preferred.
Knowledge of flow cytometry and other immunology techniques is a plus.
Recent graduate is desired.
Funding:
Research in the lab is supported by multiple grants from the NIH, the American Cancer Society, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and the StacheStrong Brain Tumor Foundation. How to Apply
