PostFull-time Post-doctoral research position immediately available for a highly motivated individual wanting to apply graduate training in the biological sciences and immunology to the study of immunotherapeutic approaches to hematologic malignancies. The position in the Gaensler Lab in the Helen Diller Comprehensive Cancer Center/ Division of Hematology/Oncology at UCSF, is in a vibrant and exciting environment where cross-cutting programs including the Bakar ImmunoX Initiative, the Cancer Immunotherapy Program, and groups belonging to the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy are situated. The candidate must have excellent recent training and research experience in molecular/cellular biology, and immunology or a related discipline. We are pursuing translational and pre-clinical studies using a novel leukemia vaccine (Shi et al, 2018). Currently, the outcomes for older patients with acute myelogenous leukemia are dismal. Thus, our long-term objective is to enhance anti-leukemic immune responses in patients and thereby increase relapse-free survival. Proof of concept studies have been performed in relevant cell lines and in vivo in tumor model systems (Shi, et al, 2018). We are currently assessing immunological responses to engineered human leukemia vaccines in preparation for a pre-IND application. Thus, experience in the generation and review of regulatory documents for submission to the FDA and project management would be helpful. We are also pursuing collaborative mechanistic studies with labs at UCSF, UCLA, and UC Davis. Individuals with an interest in basic and translational cancer research and a strong background in cellular biology, immunology, and murine models of human disease are encouraged to apply.
Applicants must be highly independent and motivated and value working in teams, with demonstrated success in project management and leadership. Successful candidates must have a BA/BS and PhD in a related discipline and have excellent written and verbal communication skills. Please respond by e-mail with a statement of interest and career objectives, CV, and names with contact information for three references.
**Please note that due to current restrictions, we can only consider US resident, citizen, or already have work visa-and currently located in US.**
