About this position
Postdoctoral Research Associate – Radiology at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU Medicine).
This is a full-time, on-campus postdoctoral opening in the Pereira Laboratory within the Department of Radiology. The lab works at the interface of molecular imaging, antibody engineering, cancer biology, drug development, and translational oncology.
The research program focuses on developing next-generation antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), molecular imaging agents, and targeted therapeutics to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment. The successful postdoc will help design and execute independent projects, develop and evaluate novel antibody conjugates, perform cancer biology studies using cell lines, patient-derived models, and mouse models, and analyze imaging and multi-omics data including spatial transcriptomics.
Strong candidates will have experience in antibody engineering, ADCs, cancer biology, molecular imaging, chemical biology, radiochemistry, image analysis, bioinformatics, or computational biology. Experience with R, Python, high-dimensional data, and spatial biology workflows is especially valuable. The position also emphasizes manuscript writing, fellowship/grant preparation, presentation at scientific meetings, and mentoring junior trainees.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent terminal/doctoral degree. Preferred backgrounds include cancer biology, chemical biology, biochemistry, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, immunology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemistry, or related fields. Excellent scientific communication, independence, collaboration, and willingness to integrate experimental and computational approaches are highlighted.
This is an NIH-funded research environment. Salary is commensurate with experience. The posting does not list a specific application deadline.
To apply, submit your application through the Workday portal linked in the posting. For application accommodations, contact [email protected].
