Thank you for your interest. Please note, the purpose of this posting is to recruit for on-going and future positions.
Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at theBeckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research.
The laboratory of Dr. Heather McGee, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Departments of Radiation Oncology and Immuno-Oncology, is seeking to hire a Staff Scientist with experience in immunology, tumor immunology and/or innate immunity. Dr. McGee leads an exciting and dynamic research group at the forefront of studies on the immune response to radiation.
The focus of the lab is to understand how radiation activates tissue resident immune cells in various tumor microenvironments. Their goals are to identify key molecular and immunologic pathways activated by radiation that can be targeted to enhance anti-tumor immunity and/or minimize normal tissue toxicity for gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. In addition, we have discovered a novel immune-mediated mechanism that contributes to the development of early-onset colorectal cancer and are investigating the epigenetic and transcriptional regulation of this pathway.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a very motivated and ambitious scientist to thrive and obtain first-author publications and grants that will allow him or her to become an independent Principal Investigator in the future.
