About this position

Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate in Molecular and Cell Biology to study the immune and metabolic mechanisms driving breast cancer metastasis and therapeutic response.

The project focuses on estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, bone metastasis, tumor–immune interactions, macrophage biology, fatty-acid metabolism, and therapeutic targeting. The researcher will investigate how the metastatic microenvironment regulates tumor progression and immune suppression, contributing to a deeper understanding of breast cancer biology and treatment response.

The work combines in vivo cancer models, pharmacologic inhibitors, immune profiling, and spatial omics. Research activities include planning and conducting advanced experiments, establishing research protocols, analyzing data, and communicating findings through scientific publications. Potential technical approaches include animal-based tumor studies, tissue collection, treatment experiments, flow cytometry, immune phenotyping, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, molecular and cellular assays, spatial transcriptomics, imaging mass cytometry, spatial proteomics or metabolomics, and single-cell RNA sequencing.

The Postdoctoral Associate will work in a collaborative research environment within Baylor College of Medicine’s Division of Molecular and Cell Biology, contributing to studies at the intersection of cancer biology, tumor immunology, metabolism, and therapeutic development.

Funding details

The salary range is $63,480–$66,492. The position is full-time, exempt, onsite, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

What's required

Applicants must hold an MD or PhD in basic science, health science, or a related field. No prior experience is required. Preferred qualifications include experience in tumor immunology or immune biology; macrophages, T cells, NK cells, or tumor immune microenvironments; in vivo cancer models and animal handling; breast cancer biology; therapeutic studies using small-molecule inhibitors or targeted agents; flow cytometry/FACS; immune phenotyping; IHC/immunofluorescence; molecular and cellular assays; high-dimensional or spatial omics; and single-cell RNA sequencing. Applicants should have a strong publication record including first-author peer-reviewed publications, strong experimental and analytical skills, the ability to independently design, execute, troubleshoot, and interpret experiments, excellent scientific communication skills, and enthusiasm for learning new approaches and technologies. Strong organization, dependability, collaboration, record-keeping, and experimental documentation are expected.
