Postdoc / Scientist position in Microphysiological Tumor Systems at the Department of Radiation Oncology, Stanford University.

A position for a postdoc scholar or research scientist position is available immediately at Stanford University, in the Department of Radiation Oncology—Physical Oncology Laboratory (PI: Dr. Guillem Pratx) to join a diverse and dynamic group of researchers. The project aims in making a lasting impact on translational cancer research by building novel physical tools and methods.

Research Areas: The lab’s interests revolve around three areas:

1. Cancer imaging
2. Metabolic heterogeneity
3. Radiation therapy

Type of Position: Candidates can apply to this position either as postdoc scholar (with a fellowship of $60,000/year) or research scientist (post-PhD; salary commensurate with experience).

Requirements for the Position

The ideal candidate for this position is

1. Passionate about cancer research
2. Interested in cracking difficult problems
3. Knowledgeable and curious
4. Effective at communicating
5. Open to work in a multidisciplinary team
6. Attentive to details
7. A person of integrity

Project Overview: The position will involve developing in vitro microphysiological tumor systems (“tumor-on-a-chip”) for translational cancer research. The candidate will be expected to learn and work the following techniques:

1. Soft lithography and microfluidics
2. 3D mammalian cell culture models
3. Tissue engineering
4. Radiation therapy
5. Radionuclide imaging
6. Biological assays

Application Procedure: To apply, please send CV and one-page cover letter to this email address: postdoc.afclthangbtdz3c8@u.box.com
