The Endocrine Oncology Lab is seeing an ambitious and meticulous postdoctoral scholar who cares deeply about advancing translational science and working on collaborative projects that have the potential to impact patient care. We welcome candidates who are passionate, curious, self-motivated and directed, and who are excited to tackle difficult research questions with creativity, rigor, and persistence.
Our lab is focused on mechanistic and translational studies in endocrine cancers. The two main areas of investigations are: 1) the identification of molecular pathways that govern endocrine cancer initiation and progression and characterizing the function of these altered genes/pathways using in vitro and in vivo models, and 2) discovery of therapeutic targets and novel anticancer agents for endocrine cancers.
Required Qualifications:
- PhD in cancer biology, cell biology, molecular biology, bioengineering or a closely related field.
- Experience driving an independent research project toward publication.
- Excellent experimental reasoning, good communications skills in English, and a collaborative working style.
- Professionalism, strong interpersonal skills, and a willingness to mentor and support other lab members.
Required Application Materials:
- A cover letter including a summary of your previous research experience, the reason you are applying to our lab, and the reason why we should consider you for this position.
- Your curriculum vitae
- Contact information for 3 references.
Interested applicants should send their application materials by email to: lisa.taylor@stanford.edu
