Job description

Case Western Reserve University, Department of Medicine is seeking a qualified candidate to fill a postdoctoral scholar position in the laboratory of Moonsoo M. Jin, PhD. The laboratory develops T cell immunotherapies and engineered biologics for cancer and imaging applications. Projects run from protein engineering and cell engineering through preclinical mouse models to clinical translation, and make heavy use of PET/CT imaging to measure where a biologic goes in the body.

Research areas include:

• T cell immunotherapy and biologics (e.g., T cell engager) for cancer
• Clinically applicable novel imaging markers of cancer
• Mouse models for evaluating efficacy and toxicity of cell and biologic drugs

Qualifications

• Doctorate (PhD, MD, or equivalent) in cancer biology, immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, bioengineering, or a related discipline, completed by the start date.
• Demonstrated publication track record in peer-reviewed journals, including at least one first-author publication.
