Post Doctoral Scholar - Comprehensive Cancer Center

About the role

The Makowski Lab in the Department of Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics at Ohio State University is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to investigate the mechanisms by which obesity, metabolism, microbiome, and the immune system regulate cancer progression and therapeutic response.

Responsibilities

• Expert in cancer cell biology and tumor microenvironment, with experience in immunology and murine models
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Contribute to multidisciplinary research focused on tumor immunology, immunometabolism, host–microbiome interactions, and translational cancer biology using cutting-edge metabolite, molecular, cellular, in vitro and in vivo approaches

Requirements

• Ph.D. in basic Biology, Cancer Biology, Zoology, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biomedical Sciences, or a related field
• Demonstrated experience with murine obesity models, immunology, and molecular biology techniques
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a multidisciplinary research team
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Demonstrated record of peer-reviewed publications and scientific presentations

Qualifications

• Research experience in cancer biology, tumor immunology, immunometabolism, obesity-related cancer, metabolism, cardiovascular, microbiome research, or the tumor microenvironment
• Experience with syngeneic or genetically engineered mouse models, flow cytometry, histology, immunohistochemistry, and advanced molecular biology techniques
• Experience with metabolomics, lipidomics, or microbiome analyses is highly desirable
• Experience with computational analysis of -omics datasets is a plus
