The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
Post Doctoral Scholar
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, United States, 43224
Postdoctoral Fellow in Metabolism and Cancer
Organization:
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
We are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic Ph.D. or MD scientists to join our group as postdoctoral research fellows. The Sen Lab invites applications for a postdoctoral research fellow position in cancer metabolism. Our research aims to define metabolic vulnerabilities in lung cancer and their impact on tumor progression and therapy resistance. This position is supported by a newly funded NIH grant.
Lab Focus The Sen Lab focuses on the development of new treatment paradigms for clinically relevant molecular subsets of lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer mortality. Situated in the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we take an interdisciplinary approach to studying basic mechanisms and biological principles of tumor pathogenesis with a focus on lung cancer. We aim to elucidate the fundamental principles of cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic response and resistance and to translate these findings to improve patient outcomes.
What You’ll Do
Conduct independent research on cancer metabolism and therapeutic targeting.
Utilize stable isotope tracing and metabolomics to investigate metabolic dependencies.
Perform experiments in genetically engineered mouse models of lung cancer.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams within and beyond our institution.
Collaborate with bioinformaticians and clinicians for translational studies.
Write scientific manuscripts describing research findings.
Attend national and international meetings to present research findings, learn the latest advances in the field, and develop a scientific network.
Apply for fellowships and grants.
Mentor junior scientists.
Qualifications
Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. in biochemistry, cancer biology, or metabolism.
Expertise in mass spectrometry, lipidomics, and metabolic flux analysis.
Established experience with animal models is mandatory.
Strong publication record, including at least two publication outputs in the last three years, with the applicant as the principal author of at least one publication.
Self-motivation and a curiosity-driven mindset.
Prior postdoctoral experience is not required.
Successful completion of a background check is required.
The selected candidate may be requested to complete a pre-employment physical, including a drug screen.
The university is an equal opportunity employer, including veterans and disability.
