The Postdoctoral Fellow will continue investigation of cancer nerve crosstalk in both breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. In both projects, the postdoctoral fellow will use tissue engineered models of the tumor microenvironment, conduct molecular assays and perform multiphoton optical redox imaging to probe metabolic status of cells real time. This person will also supervise current graduate students working on breast tumor innervation, given she has also gained experience in this area during his/her PhD tenure.

In addition, this individual will learn to write federal and foundational research grant proposals and continue to hone her skills in supervising graduate and undergraduate students and developing multidisciplinary collaborations. Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others.

• PhD in Biomedical Engineering from an accredited institution of higher education, conferred by the start of employment
• Previous work with cancer nerve crosstalk and tissue engineered models of tumor microenvironments
• Experience conducting molecular assays and performing multiple optical redox imaging
• Laboratory fluency with a strong understanding of policies, procedures, and safety protocols

This position is renewable annually based on continued need for the position, availability of funding, and satisfactory job performance.
