About this position

The Eischen Laboratory at Thomas Jefferson University is recruiting immediate postdoctoral fellows for cancer research in the lab of Dr. Christine Eischen. The group uses multiple advanced approaches to investigate molecular, biochemical, immunological, and genetic mechanisms that support cancer cell survival and growth, with the goal of identifying targetable vulnerabilities in difficult-to-treat malignancies.

The research portfolio spans aggressive, high-relapse cancers in both hematologic and solid tumor settings, including lymphomas, triple negative breast cancer, high grade serous ovarian cancer, and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Current projects include studying the immunological effects of targeted degradation of oncogenic drivers, integrating targeted strategies to expose cancer cell vulnerabilities and overcome survival mechanisms, and examining the global and specific protein and cellular consequences of targeted loss of selected E3 ligases.

Successful fellows will join an interdisciplinary environment with strong mentorship, career development, state-of-the-art core facilities, and opportunities to publish impactful manuscripts and develop independent research directions.

Funding details

The postdoctoral training environment includes strong mentorship and career development, interdisciplinary collaborations, state-of-the-art core facilities, publishing consequential manuscripts, pursuing fellowship funding, and support for independent research directions.

What's required

Applicants should be defending a PhD or MD/PhD soon or have graduated within the last 1.5 years. Candidates must be currently approved to work in the United States and be skilled in cancer research techniques. Preferred qualifications include high motivation and commitment to research, experience with at least two of the following: immunological, molecular, biochemical, mouse, and/or in vitro patient cell models, prior tumor immune microenvironment and/or tumor immunology experience, the ability to work independently and collaborate effectively in a team, a record of peer-reviewed publications, strong verbal and written communication skills, and NIH training grant eligibility.

How to apply

Email Dr. Christine Eischen with a cover letter describing your research interests, a current CV, and contact information for three references. Apply through the listed Workday application page.
