A post-doctoral position to investigate drivers of pancreatic cancer metastasis is available in the lab of Dr. Karen Mann. Using Sleeping Beauty insertional mutagenesis, we have uncovered novel interactions between new cancer drivers and known tumor suppressors that antagonize key signaling pathways and processes involved in tumorigenesis. A successful applicant will work to dissect the mechanisms through which these drivers cooperate during pancreatic cancer development and metastasis using organoids, cell lines and mouse models.

Qualifications
We are recruiting highly motivated, team-oriented individuals interested in inter-disciplinary research using in-vitro, in vivo and computational approaches to defining molecular events that drive pancreatic cancer metastasis. A successful candidate for this position will be expected to work both independently and collaboratively; learn research techniques that directly relate to the program’s scientific projects and goals; develop scientific writing and presentation skills, including grant proposals, manuscript preparation and formal seminars presented to the Moffitt scientific community and at national scientific meetings.
In addition, the successful candidate will have:
• A PhD in Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or related discipline earned within the last two years
• Proven track record of publication in international journals
• A strong foundation in molecular biology, mammalian cell culture and mouse genetics
• Excellent written and oral communication skills. Fluency in English is compulsory.
