Postdoctoral scholars and Research Assistants 2 Person

Postdoctoral Fellow / R&D Scientist, Research Assistant and Others

Highly desirable:
• Metabolomics: Proficiency in Mass Spectrometry or NMR-based metabolic profiling and analysis.
• Systemic Interaction: Experience in studying the Immune System or the Nervous System.
• Expertise in designing and executing complex in vivo experiments. A strong background in developing, breeding, and analyzing genetically modified animal models applied to cancer biology or neuroscience.

Postdoctoral scholars: you hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences, Metabolism, Immunology, Neuroscience, or a related field. We are looking for researchers who are able to bridge the gaps between metabolism and systemic signaling in cancer development.
Research Assistants: BSc/MSc degree in biomedical sciences, biochemistry, biology or related subjects.

Traits for Success
In addition to technical skills, we value the "soft" drivers of a successful member in the lab:
• Intellectual Independence: The ability to steer a project and pivot based on data.
• Scientific Resilience: A mindset that views technical hurdles as puzzles to be solved.
• Collaborative spirit: The ability to work across disciplines.
• Effective Storytelling: strong writing and presentation skills for high-impact publishing.

The Mission
Our lab is dedicated to unraveling the systemic complexities of cancer. We view malignancy not as an isolated tumor, but as a takeover of the body’s physiological networks. We are specifically investigating the metabolic crosstalk between pancreatic tumor cells and the host, focusing on how the immune system and the nervous system are co-opted to support progression.
We are seeking highly motivated Postdoctoral scholars/Research Assistants to lead projects at the intersection of cancer metabolism, neuro-immunology, and systemic physiology.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
