Research Fellow-PC-Cancer Biology @ Mayo Clinic (FL)
The Mayo Clinic Florida Brain Tumor Stem Cell Research Laboratory, led by Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow with expertise in immunology, especially as applied to the field of brain tumor research.
This position offers the opportunity to lead independent, cutting-edge projects investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving brain tumor biology in both human-based and in vitro models, with a particular focus on the tumor microenvironment and therapeutic responses. Supported by the Mayo Clinic Florida Neurosurgery BRIDGE Biobank, the postdoctoral fellow will have access to a rich collection of patient-derived specimens to advance their research objectives.
The ideal candidate will be skilled in and have experience in:
• Developing and executing advanced experimental approaches using patient-derived samples and preclinical models to investigate immunology, radiation effects as it pertains to brain tumor biology.
• Propelling translational research efforts to bridge laboratory findings with potential therapeutic applications for patients.
• Independently leading grant writing and proposal development to support ongoing and future research initiatives.
• Spearheading manuscript preparation for dissemination in high tier journals.
• Providing mentorship to junior researchers while collaborating with scientists and clinicians across disciplines in a highly translational research setting.
