About this position
Weill Cornell Medicine is advertising a Postdoctoral Associate in Medicine in the Nowak Laboratory, working on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), tumor–immune interactions, metabolism, lineage tracing, and somatically engineered mouse models (SEMMs). The project is carried out in collaboration with the Birsoy/Tavazoie laboratories at Rockefeller University and focuses on how metabolism shapes the tumor microenvironment (TME).
The role includes engineering multi-allele PDAC mouse models, validating lentiviral delivery to the pancreas, delivering Trp53-targeting guide RNAs with evolving lineage-tracing barcodes, tracking clonal evolution, performing candidate gene inactivation studies, and integrating barcode lineage data with single-cell and computational analyses.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD (or equivalent doctoral degree) in Cancer Biology, Pharmacology, Molecular/Cell Biology, or a related field by the start date. Required experience includes mouse cancer models, in vivo viral delivery, longitudinal tumor monitoring, necropsy, tissue processing, lentiviral vector design/production, molecular cloning, and mammalian cell/organoid culture. Strong independent research ability, rigorous record keeping, and publication/presentation experience are expected. Two recommendation letters are required, including one from the doctoral advisor.
Preferred background: SEMMs using CRISPR/Cas9 and Cre/lox, lineage tracing and barcoding, genomic and computational analysis (including CRISPResso2, DESeq2, and R), and prior work in PDAC, bladder, or prostate cancer models or tumor–immune metabolism biology.
Funding and terms: the starting salary is $75,812, with benefits and coverage under the Weill Cornell Medicine Postdoctoral Union collective bargaining agreement. The appointment is offered for 1 year with possible renewal. J-1 visa eligibility may apply.
Location: Belfer Research Building, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
How to apply: email a cover letter and CV to [email protected]. The posting does not list a fixed deadline; candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
