Postdoctoral fellowship in gynecologic oncology- UCSF Department of OB/GYN Postdoctoral Fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology - UCSF Department of OB/GYN
Location:
Health Sciences East, 513 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94143, United States Job Posted Date:
December 21, 2023 Position Overview:
An NIH SPORE endometrial cancer funded postdoctoral position is available to study angiogenesis in endometrial cancer tumor progression and development of a novel, targeted treatment in the laboratory of Katherine Fuh, MD PhD, Associate Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, Center for Reproductive Sciences, and John A. Kerner Chair in Gynecologic Oncology, UCSF. Fuh Lab Focus:
Our lab is interested in understanding how cancer cells attach, invade, and metastasize. We are also focused on identifying biomarkers associated with treatment resistance in patients with ovarian and endometrial cancer and developing targeted therapies to overcome the resistance. Projects:
We have robust collaborations with other laboratories for multiple projects, including this SPORE in endometrial cancer, and advanced techniques including metabolomics and immune profiling using CyTOF. Our lab culture is highly collaborative; in addition to leading their own project, the postdoctoral fellow will have opportunities to contribute to other team projects in the lab and to develop and participate in grant-writing and external collaborations — as well as mentoring of students and junior lab members as part of career development. Additional professional development opportunities will be available through the many training programs offered at UCSF. Candidates interested in angiogenesis research are encouraged to apply. Mentoring:
Opportunities will be available to mentor undergraduates, professional students, and clinical fellows for projects. Collaborations:
The lab has collaborations with investigators across UCSF, Stanford University, Washington University in St. Louis, and The Ohio State University. Job Requirements:
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with a PhD, MD/PhD, or MD degree and experience in molecular biology. Experience with basic molecular biology, cell culture, animal models, and cell-based work is strongly preferred. Experience with angiogenesis is highly desirable, but not required. The candidate needs to be able to work both independently and in a collaborative and diverse team. Excellent organizational and communication skills, as well as evidence of successful scientific writing, are required. Members of underrepresented minority groups and women are strongly encouraged to apply. UC San Francisco seeks candidates whose experience, teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, or protected veteran status. How to Apply:
Interested individuals should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and the names of three references (title, phone number, and email) to Dr. Katherine Fuh at Katherine.Fuh@ucsf.edu. The position will be open until filled. Earliest start date is February 2024.
