A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available to join the Jeselsohn Laboratory in the Department of Medical Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. We are looking for an enthusiastic scientist to work on our existing and upcoming projects. Our group studies treatment resistance and tumor progression in hormone receptor positive breast cancer, the most common subtype of breast cancer. We utilize pre-clinical models and clinical samples to understand drug resistance and tumor progression. We perform high throughput cutting edge assays for discovery with extensive bioinformatic analyses followed by comprehensive validation with the goal to bring new therapeutic approaches to the clinic to improve patient outcomes. This is an opportunity to be exposed to both wet lab techniques and computational biology.
