POSTDOC (Senior Specialist – Research Engineer) in Cancer Neurophysiology Research Group – NAWA grant
Lokalizacja: Wrocław
Termin składania aplikacji: 30.09.2024
Due to our growing needs, we invite candidates to apply for the position of
POSTDOC (Senior Specialist – Research Engineer) in Neuro Immuno Oncology
(Strategic Partnerships NAWA grant).
Cancer Neurophysiology Group (Kucharczyk Lab) at Łukasiewicz Research Network, Polish Centre for Technology Development (Łukasiewicz-PORT) bridges Neuroscience with Oncology aiming to comprehend neurogenic regulation of carcinogenesis and associated pain. Employing state-of-the-art techniques (i.e., in vivo optical imaging, electrophysiology and optogenetics) we selectively sample and modulate activity of genetically defined neuronal populations and analyse (FACS, tissue clearing, omics) their effects on tumour biology. In this pursuit, our group aspires to forge innovative therapies for cancer and associated pain, rooted in a deep understanding of neuronal systems. See more about us: https://port.lukasiewicz.gov.pl/en/rd/life-sciences-biotechnology-center/cancer-neurophysiology-group/
The role:
You will work on an international project (in partnership with King’s College London and University of Copenhagen) fitting in rapidly developing field of Cancer Neuroscience. The NAWA Strategic Partnerships grant acts as a springboard for the creation of European Cancer Neuroscience Consortium (ECNC) offering a wide range of activities to nurture current and future collaborations. The grant has two aims: 1) an international research project, and 2) establishment of the ECNC through recruitment of new members across Europe.
You will execute the grant’s research project focused on the role of silent nociceptors in the control of cancer growth and associated pain. You will use novel transgenic mice generated by our British partner allowing for selective targeting of a specific type of pain-sensing neurons: silent nociceptors. The Cancer Neurophysiology Research group consists of several immunologists, oncologists and neurophysiologists. Through collaboration with the group members and our international partners, you will use novel genetic techniques (such as chemo-/optogenetics) with a battery of behavioural, proteomic, histological and physiological readouts to investigate effects of silent nociceptors modulation on oncological pain and cancer growth control. The preclinical data you generate will be directly compared with clinical samples analysed by the grant-funded RA and our Danish collaborator. This interdisciplinary project is on the intersection of oncology, immunology and neuroscience. Thus, an ideal candidate will have a strong background in oncology OR immune-oncology OR neuro-immunology, as well as openness for international collaboration and strong interpersonal skills.
You will be asked to: i) independently undertake research projects: design, and execute experiments in consultation with the group leader, ii) initiate and manage long-term investigations and collaborations with other researchers in Poland and abroad, iii) participate in lab activities, including group meetings, journal clubs, seminars and conferences, iv) write up findings for publications and completing revisions, v) collaborate with other lab members on research projects.
Requirements:
- Ph D in Immunology or related discipline (i.e. Biotechnology, Neurobiology, Biology etc.),
- Advanced spoken and written English skills,
- Proven (published) research track record,
- Ability to travel, exchange knowhow, and present data internationally,
- Ability to plan your own work and/or the work of the person you line manage (i.e. Ph D students),
- Documented work with rodent models,
- Good understanding of immunology, molecular genetics and viral vectors,
- Good analytical skills.
- Previous experience with cancer and/or pain models,
- Experience in wet lab techniques (biochemical assays/molecular biology, FACS, RNAseq etc.),
- Experience in animal procedures (such as animal handling, surgery, behavioural testing etc.),
- Knowledge of novel genetic tools (such as chemo-/optogenetics),
- Work experience in an international environment,
- Coding skills, or ability to implement written scripts in R/Python/Matlab for data analysis.
- Full-time employment on the position of Senior Specialist – Research Engineer for 24 months;
- Work in a scientific and research organization focused on the implementation of innovative prestigious research and development projects;
- Co-financing for private medical care;
- Co-financing for a sports card;
- Possibility to join group life insurance;
- Co-financing under the Social Benefits Fund (for holidays and Christmas);
- Work on the territory of a green science campus;
- Free parking space;
- Additional 10 days of paid leave for employees of the research division holding the title Ph D.
