Post-Doctoral Research Fellow- Lab of Dr. Christine Eischen- Cancer Biology

The Eischen Laboratory utilizes multiple advanced approaches to study molecular, biochemical, immunological, and/or genetic mechanisms of cancer cell survival and growth with the goal of identifying potential targetable vulnerabilities in both hematologic and solid tumors. Our multi-disciplinary research investigates several aggressive, challenging to treat, and high relapse rate cancers, specifically lymphomas, triple negative breast, high grade serous ovarian, and oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Current available projects for postdoctoral fellows include studying the 1) immunological effects of targeted degradation of oncogenic drivers of cancers (priority project), 2) integrating targeted approaches for cancer cell vulnerabilities and overcoming survival mechanisms, and 3) global and specific protein and cellular consequences with targeted loss of specific E3 ligases.

We seek postdoctoral fellows who will be defending their PhD or MD/PhD soon or have graduated within the last 1.5 years. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated:

High motivation and commitment to research
Experience with at least two of immunological, molecular, biochemical, mouse, and/or in vitro patient cell models. (It is advantageous to have tumor immune microenvironment and/or tumor immunology research experience.)
Ability to work independently and effectively collaborate in a team
Record of peer-reviewed publications
Strong verbal and written communication
The outstanding postdoctoral training environment includes strong mentorship and career development, interdisciplinary collaborations, state-of-the-art core facilities as well as publishing consequential manuscripts, pursuing fellowship funding, and support for independent research directions.

Interested individuals should send a cover letter describing their research interests, a current CV, and contact information for 3 references to Dr. Eischen at christine.eischen@jefferson.edu. Applicants must be currently approved to work in the U.S. and be skilled in cancer research techniques. Preference will be given to applicants that are NIH training grant eligible.

About the Company/Organization:

The White House Office of Science and Technology
Type: Other
Size:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/

Congress established the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in 1976 to provide the President and Executive Office of the President (EOP) with advice on the scientific, engineering, and technological aspects of national policy and the work of the executive branch. This includes matters of the economy, national security, homeland security, health, foreign relations, the environment, education, and resource management.

The OSTP Director oversees the development and execution of the nation’s science and technology policy agenda, leading White House efforts in critical and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum information sciences, and biotechnology, with the aim of safeguarding US leadership in these fields and ensuring they advance in ways that bolster American economic competitiveness, national security, and human flourishing. The OSTP Director co-chairs the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), an advisory board whose members are drawn from outside the Federal Government, typically from industry, academia, and research institutions. The Director also chairs the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), which coordinates the science and technology policymaking process across the executive branch to ensure delivery of the President’s agenda.

In addition to leading interagency science and policy coordination, OSTP assists the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) with annual reviews and priority setting for the Federal research and development budget, and evaluates the scale, quality, and effectiveness of Federal science and technology efforts. OSTP also serves as a source of scientific and technical analysis and judgment for the President with respect to any major strategies, plans, and Government programs.
