The Mouse Models of Cancer Therapies group from VHIO seeks a PhD student to join our group

Application deadline: 13/9/2020

Job description:

The Mouse Models of Cancer Therapies group led by ICREA Research Professor Laura Soucek is seeking an excellent and highly motivated PhD student to join us on a project supported by La Marató Foundation to study the role of Myc in instructing the tumor immune microenvironment in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with diverse mutational landscapes.

The group’s main interest is the role of Myc in tumorigenesis and Myc inhibition as a valuable approach in cancer therapy. Its main lines of research are (i) Myc-induced tumorigenesis, (ii) Myc inhibition and its validation as cancer therapy, (iii) design and testing of clinically-viable protein-based Myc inhibitors, (iv) development of pre-clinical models of cancer therapy and (v) Myc-induced cancer immune evasion.

The laboratory regularly works with several transgenic, syngeneic, humanized and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models of cancer, including lung, glioma, breast, colorectal, melanoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma and multiple myeloma models, with a very translational approach. The group overarching goal is to bring Myc inhibition to the clinic.

More information about our group can be found here: https://www.vhio.net/en/mouse-models-of-cancer-therapies-group/

Requirements:

We are seeking enthusiastic, highly motivated and qualified PhD students. Candidates must have an exceptional academic record and hold a Master’s Degree to be eligible for highly competitive fellowships. A background in immunology /immune-oncology will be favorably considered.

Education and qualifications

• Degree in life sciences

• Master’s Degree in life sciences

Experience and knowledge

• Previous experience in at least one research laboratory

• Animal Experimentation Certificate is preferred

• Experience in cell culture, flow cytometry and mouse handling is preferred

• Excellent organization and communication skills

• Ability to work independently as well as part of a team

• High level of English

Main responsibilities and duties

• Planning and execution of research projects under supervision

• Use of immunology and cell culture techniques, as well as handling of different animal models

• Presentation of research results at internal and external meetings

Application:

To join our group and contribute to this exciting research project, applicants should send a CV, contact information of at least one reference and a cover letter describing past achievements and research interests to: Sílvia Casacuberta  scasacuberta@vhio.net and Jonathan Whitfield jwhitfield@vhio.net

JOB POSITION: POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW-COVID19 PROJECT: The B cell biology group at IMIM is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with a keen interest inthe antibody mediated immune response in COVID19.THE LABORATORY:The laboratory is located at IMIM Foundation (https://www.imim.es). This center is an integral part of thePRBB, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in Southern Europe. PRBB provides an intellectuallystimulating environment that hosts nearly one thousand scientists organized in eighty different researchgroups (http://www.prbb.org).

https://www.imim.es/programesrecerca/inflamacio/en_bcellbiology.html

WHAT WE OFFER:We offer a very stimulating and welcoming working environment in a highly competitive research groupdedicated to the analysis of the cellular and signaling networks underlying mature B cell responses,including immunoglobulin heavy chain class switching and somatic hypermutation.Most relevant publication in the last 5 years: Chen K et al Nat Rev Immunol 2020; Sintes J. et al.
