Campus | IU School of Medicine Indianapolis |
Position Summary | Description: The Condello laboratory at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, IN seeks applications for post-doctoral fellow in the area of cancer stem cell or cancer biology. The position will be supported by a DOD-funded project investigating the role of ovarian cancer stromal microenvironment in cancer stemness and metastasis. The project will use a wide range of technologies, including genomics/epigenomics methods, CRISPR genome editing, primary and immortalized cell cultures, organoid culture, and in vivo mouse models. The ideal candidate will focus on molecular biology, in vitro 3D modeling of cancer, cancer stem cell biology, molecular biology, and mouse tumor models. The candidate will support new target selection and biomarker development. This is an exciting opportunity to apply cutting-edge methods and contribute to the development of novel target therapeutics in the nation’s largest medical school. Experience in bioinformatics is a plus. We value a culture of collaboration, teamwork, and mutual respect. Position Summary: The Condello laboratory is dedicated to discovering the next generation of oncology targets and therapeutics through in-depth interrogation of biological systems that will inform on ovarian tumor development, growth and signaling processes correlated with stemness and metastatic spread. Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) degree in the area directly related to the field of research specialization. The ideal candidate will have significant experience in cancer biology and cancer signaling pathways using in vitro and/or in vivo model systems including a deep mechanistic understanding of how signaling crosstalk between cancer cells and its tumor-stromal microenvironment contributes to cancer development and cancer stem cell survival. The candidate is expected to independently design, execute, and analyze experiments, and present the results at various forums. We are particularly looking for individuals with demonstrated expertise in molecular and cellular biology, excellent writing and oral communication skills, a history of first-author publications in high quality scientific journals. As the nation’s largest medical school, IU School of Medicine is committed to being an institution that not only reflects the diversity of the learners we teach and the patient populations we serve, but also pursues the values of diversity, equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence. We desire candidates who enhance our representational diversity, as well as those whose work contributes to equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for our students, staff, and faculty. IU School of Medicine strives to take an anti-racist stance, regularly evaluating and updating its policies, procedures, and practices to confer equitable opportunities for contribution and advancement for all members of our community.
