Exciting Opportunity at MSK: Post Doctoral Fellow, Balachandran Lab
The Balachandran Lab is seeking a highly motivated and successful individual to join our dynamic research team. Our goal is to discover new ways to stimulate the immune system to treat cancer through careful study of rare cancer patients with exceptional outcomes. We believe that deep study of these remarkable patients will identify fundamental mechanisms of how the immune system controls cancers, and accelerate the discovery of new effective drugs. We use this approach to study pancreatic cancer, a model deadly cancer that is refractory to all treatments including immunotherapy – and specifically focus on a rare subgroup of pancreatic cancer patients with exceptional long-term survival to discover new immunotherapeutic approaches. Our long-term vision is to use a similar approach of study of biological extremes to usher in the next generation of cancer immunotherapies.
Role Overview
As a Post Doctoral Fellow in the Balachandran Lab, you will conduct independent research demonstrating a passion for understanding and using the immune system to fight cancer. You will work closely with interdisciplinary teams to craft and implement experiments, analyze data, and contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
Key Qualifications
Anusha Rai; raia1@mskcc.org
Pay Range: $ 72,000-$81,000
Application Instructions: Please include a cover letter, brief statement of prior research experience and research interests, CV, and contact information for three references in your application submission.
