We are looking for 2 motivated postdoctoral fellows to join our team! We aim to elucidate how immune circadian rhythms are coopted by cancer cells in lung cancer.
What this project (INN-TIME) is about…
Circadian rhythms (CRs) allow fundamental adaptations of organisms to a changing environment. We previously obsereved that innate immune cells regulate the circadian physiology of tissues, including the susceptibility of the lung to be metastasized (Fig.1). In INN-TIME, we will explore whether tumors take advantage of, and subvert, CRs of the innate (immune and stroma) compartments to escape anti-tumoral defense. We aim to understand how oncogenic processes rewire CRs of the host and to elucidate strategies that halt this subversion as a new approach to fight cancer.
What we look for:
- PhD in tumor immunology and/or cancer biology.
- Experience with mouse genetics and tumor models is a must.
- Candidates will be evaluated based on their scientific excellence (publication record), creative thinking, independence and expertise.
- Research techniques: mouse genetics, molecular biology (CRISPR and functional genomics), flow cytometry, multiplex imaging, scRNAseq transcriptomics.
- Proficiency in writing and speaking in English.
Who we are: a nice troup of immunologists and cancer researchers
