Senior Scientist, Tumor immunology, (Salary 100-130K)

An experienced research scientist with extensive knowledge in cancer biology and tumor immunology will investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells modulate the anti-tumoral immune response in cancer patients. Potential candidate will be involved in design and testing of novel targeted therapeutics to suppressive pathways operating in tumor microenvironment. Scientist should be versatile with immunological assays including flow cytometry-based assays, tissue cell culturing, processing human specimens, cytokine multi-plex assay, western blot, ELISA, ELISpot, cytotoxic assays, DNA/RNA extraction and analysis, standard and quantitative PCR, conventional and next-generation sequencing. The potential candidate will participate in design and performing experiments, data analysis and presentation. He/she will work independently to manage daily research projects, data collection and organization of the laboratory. He/she must be able to identify and resolve technical problems and use analytical and decision-making skills to implement assigned projects.

This position provides an excellent career development opportunity to work with a dynamic group of tumor immunologists at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, one of the top 3 NIH funded medical schools in the US.

Qualifications

• Extensive scientific knowledge and research experience in cancer biology and tumor immunology with a rack record of publication in peer reviewed journals. Substantial experience with human/murine myeloid cell and T cell functional assays, and tumor mouse models. 5 to 7 years of postdoctoral experience is required.
