We are looking for highly motivated postdoc fellows, PhD students, MD/PhD students, and lab manager/lab technician to join our group

Postdoc fellows and MD/PhD students will use unbiased approaches (microarray, RNA-Seq, scRNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq and CyTOF) to identify novel molecular and cellular events in brain tumor with different treatments. Functional validation of results using standard molecular biology techniques will be performed in vitro and in vivo using patient derived xenograft line, primary samples and murine models. The ideal applicants for postdoc fellows should have a doctoral degree (PhD or MD/PhD) and preference will be given to candidates with first-author publications in peer-reviewed journals. Experience in cancer biology, tumor microenvironment, tumor immunology and cancer genetics/epigenetics is preferred. 

The lab manager/technician will perform scientific work related to brain cancer research and carry out other lab duties. The ideal candidates should have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in biomedical field.  Preference will be given to candidates having research experience with mouse models.

Interested applicants please send your curriculum vitae, cover letter, and names and contact information of three references to Dr. Chen at peiwen.chen@northwestern.edu
