POSITION SPECIFICS
The Pritchard Lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral Scholar position. The scholar will lead in vivo mouse studies at the interface of evolution, synthetic biology, and targeted therapy, supporting an NIH-funded program (5 year grant) that develops "selection gene drives," a regulated gene therapy that partners with standard-of-care targeted therapies to overcome drug resistance. The successful candidate will design and execute efficacy and safety studies across cell line-derived xenograft (CDX), orthotopic, patient-derived xenograft (PDX), and immune-competent syngeneic models, including intravenous vector delivery, in vivo imaging (IVIS, micro-CT), and pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and toxicology cohorts.
Qualified individuals will hold a Ph.D. by the time of appointment in Biomedical Engineering or a related scientific field and will have extensive hands-on experience with mouse tumor models and in vivo techniques including IP, IV and SC injections, oral gavage, as well as modern molecular biology. Interested candidates should apply online and submit a CV that includes a list of education, publications, and work experience.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Direct questions regarding this position to Justin Pritchard at [email protected].
