RESEARCH SCIENTIST – UROLOGY
The Department of Urology of the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is recruiting a Research Scientist with research expertise and interest in urologic cancer, particularly bladder and kidney. The recruitment is at the Assistant Professor level for an individual with demonstrated ability to secure funding that is interested in becoming a member of a rapidly expanding, multi-disciplinary program spanning urologic malignancies and associated morbidities. There is particular interest in attracting a recruit that can merge molecular approaches with AI and/or an expertise in bioinformatic skills for understanding cancer etiology, progression and metastasis.
The Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, located in Buffalo, NY, is America’s first cancer center. Roswell Park was founded in 1898, is a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and is one of only 45 facilities in the country to hold the National Cancer Institute “comprehensive cancer center” designation. A competitive salary and benefits package are offered.

The goal of Dr. Xin Lu’s lab (https://biology.nd.edu/labs/lu-lab/) is to identify novel therapeutic targets and realize innovative combination therapy strategies to benefit cancer patients, through mechanistic investigation, functional genomics, mouse modeling and therapeutics development (some select recent publications: Wang*, Lu*, et al. Cancer Discovery, 2016; Lu et al. Nature, 2017; Feng…Lu, PNAS 2018; Huang…Lu, Nat Comm, 2020). Located at the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame and affiliated with Indiana University Simon Cancer Center, the Lu lab is seeking highly motivated PhD or MD scientists with expertise and interests in one or more of following areas: · Cellular, biochemical or metabolic mechanism of cancer progression and metastasis, especially for but not limited to prostate cancer and breast cancer · Tumor microenvironment, tumor immunology and/or cancer immunotherapy · Computational cancer bioinformatics, integrated analysis of oncogenomics and/or proteomics data and functional validation in cell culture and animal models. The lab research is supported by active grants from NIH, DOD, private foundations and internal resources. A range of available projects includes: (1) Mechanistic understanding of immunosuppressive myeloid cells; (2) Metabolic reprogramming to enhance cancer immunotherapy; (3) Molecular mechanism of prostate cancer bone metastasis; (4) Anti-metastasis and pro-metastasis functions of neutrophil subsets; (5) Gene functions and therapy development to treat refectory prostate cancer or breast cancer.
A doctoral degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, immunology, bioinformatics or related field is required. A qualified candidate should already hold or expected to hold a doctoral degree at the time of applying. Experiences that are desirable (but not required) include mammalian cell culture, basic molecular cloning, cell biology, biochemistry, RNAi, CRISPR, immunology, animal models, histopathology, single-cell technology, or bioinformatics/computational biology.

Novel therapeutic vulnerabilities in prostate cancer
Our group at the Department of Cancer Biology at the Lerner Research Institute of the Cleveland Clinic is seeking a highly motivated and independent post-doctoral fellow to join our studies to overcome treatment resistance in prostate cancer. Our laboratory focuses on the transcriptional processes and signal transduction cascades that drive lethal prostate cancer progression. Via mechanistic dissection of these pathways and/or complexes, we strive to develop novel therapeutic targets and treatment approaches and to isolate biomarkers of response to these novel treatments. Examples of research interests and recent studies from our DOD- and NCI-funded research programs include: Wei et al. (European Urology, 2017), Liu et al. (eLife, 2017), Kumari et al. (Endocrine-Related Cancer, 2017), Venkadakrishnan et al. (Oncogene, 2019). Specific areas of current research interest include: 1) Isolating and targeting critical molecular interactions in AR transcriptional complexes 2) Targeting the action of kinases and identifying kinase substrates that can serve as biomarkers of treatment response 3) Defining the impact of genomic markers on treatment response to personalize the administration of current prostate cancer drugs All projects involve clinical validation of laboratory findings using archival and fresh patient specimens and animal models of advanced prostate cancer for translational and therapeutic studies. The ideal candidate is highly motivated and driven to succeed in a translational science environment. The candidate should have a recent PhD and expertise in cell biology, molecular biology and preclinical animal studies, and is interested in extrapolating in vitro and in vivo findings to patient specimens and data. Outstanding verbal and communication skills are required. The Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute provides an excellent interactive research environment with access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. Interested applicants should submit a CV and contact information for 3 references to Dr. Hannelore Heemers via email: [email protected]. Assistant Professor — Urologic Oncology Research Facility
