Post-Doctoral Research Fellow

Cancer Biology Post-Doctoral Research Fellow

The Henry Ford Health System, Department of Urology, is seeking a highly motivated, energetic post-doctoral research fellow to work on a novel mechanism of cancer drug resistance in a modern, state of the art working facility. This post-doctoral position is funded by the United States Federal Grants and is available immediately to study cancer cell survival signaling, oncogene regulation, and developmental therapeutics using prostate, kidney, and pancreatic cancer as models. The successful candidate is expected to apply biochemical and molecular biology techniques (Western blot, RT-PCR, IHC, gene expression) and gene knockout mice to investigate the role of Tribbles 2 oncogene in the development and progression of drug resistant cancer. Prior experience in drug testing using cell culture as well as various orthotopic, transgenic, and patient-derived xenograft models will be a plus. Preference will be given to candidates having extensive experience in signal transduction research and in handling small animals for therapeutic development. Qualified candidates please respond by sending a comprehensive CV with names and contacts of three referees to Dr. J. Ghosh, Department of Urology, Henry Ford Health System, Detroit, MI 48202 (E-mail:  jghosh1@hfhs.org).
