understanding human biology and disease and advancing scientific discoveries to
impact human health profoundly.

Principal Investigator, Ze’ev Ronai, MD, PhD is looking for a Postdoctoral
Scientist to join the team!

The project will involve the characterization of novel signaling pathways in
melanoma's tumor microenvironment (including immune components). Training will
engage work with genetically modified mouse models, cell culture, cell biology,
and biochemistry techniques. This training opportunity will engage
computer-based analyses of signaling pathways in human tumor samples, coupled
with state-of-the-art technologies (single cell RNAseq and alike). Candidates
are expected to be self-motivated, intellectually driven, and multi-tasking with
a proven record of accomplishments.

Are you ready to be a part of breakthrough research?
