A postdoctoral position is open for a highly motivated candidate in the laboratory of Dr. Liya Ding in the Department of Immunology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. The laboratory's research focuses on investigating the interactions between cancer cells and the host immune system during cancer development and progression. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the laboratory utilizes ex vivo co-culture systems of tumor and immune cells, syngeneic and humanized mouse models, CRISPR screening, scRNA seq, spatial biology imaging and bioinformatics to identify critical regulators that contribute to the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment during tumor progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Successful candidates will lead independent research projects dedicated to the development of new mechanism-based therapeutics for ovarian and prostate cancer. The research is well-supported by multiple grants from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and private foundations.
Candidates should possess a PhD and/or MD in Immunology or related fields. Experience in cancer immunology is preferred.
Interested applicants are invited to submit a CV, a cover letter outlining their research interests and experience, and the contact information for three professional references to Liya Ding, PhD, at Liya.Ding@RoswellPark.org.
