Postdoctoral Position in Cancer Research

The laboratory of Dr. Thomas Kipps at the University of California, San Diego, Moores Cancer Center, is seeking highly qualified and motivated postdoctoral fellows (scientists) to participate in state-of-the-art translational cancer research projects investigating the genetics and immunology of cancer development and the generation of novel pharmacologic cancer therapeutics.

Our laboratory is investigating novel therapeutics for patients with leukemia and solid tumors. A focus of our laboratory is to investiga te the function of onco-embryonic antigens, such as ROR1, which are selectively expressed by tumor cells and that contribute to malignant behavior. This also involves development and testing of novel agents that can target such antigens and/or their associated signaling pathways that contribute to the survival, growth, metastatic potential, and/or cancer stemness of neoplastic cells, even in the setting of conventional anti-cancer therapy. These studies can result in the development of more-effective therapies for patients with cancer.

Applicants must have a PhD, strong analytical skills, proficiency in oral and written scientific presentations, and a demonstrated commitment to a career in cancer research.

Postdoctoral position is preferably offered to candidates who have recently received their PhD or have three years or less of post graduate education.

Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and the names and contact information of three reference to Dr. Laura Rassenti via email atlrassenti@ucsd.edu.
