Post Doctoral Fellow in Interventional Oncology, Drug and Device Combinations at Clinical Center, Bethesda, MD


Clinical Center, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
POST: Post Doctoral Fellow(Interventional Oncology, Drug and Device Combinations)
The Center for Interventional Oncology (CC & NCI) & the Interventional Radiology Research Laboratory in the Radiology & Imaging Sciences Department of the Clinical Center has postdoctoral fellowship openings for qualified candidates interested in multidisciplinary translational research as part of a team of MD's, PhD's, and MD/PhD's in interventional oncology. Our research group focuses on three areas of interest: 1) Novel drug and device combinations, 2) Multi-modality image fusion and technologies for image guided therapies, such as image guided robotics or electromagnetic navigation, and 3) Novel tumor ablation and interventional devices. Targeted minimally invasive therapies using image guidance are essential tools for closing the gap between diagnosis and therapy. Integration of these targeted therapies into the clinic is a main focus of our translational research center.
Some examples of postdoctoral research projects include: 1) Combining temperature sensitive liposomes and MR-guided high intensity focus ultrasound (MR-HIFU) for the treatment of solid tumors, 2) Combining MR-HIFU and radiation therapy for the treatment of solid tumors, 3) Investigating tumor microenvironment changes following transarterial chemoembolization with drug eluting beads (DEB-TACE) 4) Developing imaging methods for targeted drug delivery systems, 5) Targeted & regional delivery of therapeutics using imaging guidance (DEB-TACE & thrombolysis), and 6) Combining ablative techniques (RFA or HIFU) with immunotherapy of solid tumors.
REQUIREMENTS:
Applicants should hold the PhD, MD or MD/PhD degree. Preferred candidates are those with backgrounds in cancer therapy, drug delivery, imaging or image-guidance, engineering, cell biology, and/or medicine and an interest in interventional oncology.
TO APPLY:
Interested applicants should e-mail a CV, a cover letter outlining their research interest and three references to:
Dr. Bradford Wood, MD
Director, Center for Interventional Oncology

PostDoctoral Fellowship(Genetic Susceptibility to Glial Tumors) at National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD

National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD

POST: PostDoctoral Fellowship
Genetic Susceptibility to Glial Tumors in the Context of Nf1 and p53
The Genetic Modifiers of Tumorigenesis Section of the Mouse Cancer Genetics Program at NCI-Frederick is recruiting a post-doctoral fellow to study modifiers of cancer susceptibility. We have identified at least 6 regions of the genome that affect whether mice are more or less susceptible to astrocytoma or malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Projects are available to test gene candidates and understand the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. The laboratory is located on the Frederick campus of NCI with many state-of-the-art facilities for genomic analysis, pathology, small animal imaging, and proteomic analysis, among others (http://web.ncifcrf.gov/).
Projects include 1) characterizing candidate modifier genes for glial tumors and neurofibromatosis type I at the genetic, cellular, and molecular level; 2) studying the role of genome architecture and imprinted genes in susceptibility to cancer; 3) studying sex-specific differences in susceptibility to cancer.
Candidates are expected to have completed, or be completing, a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in biomedical research with a strong publication record and expertise in molecular and cell biological techniques. Candidates should have no more than one year of post-doctoral experience. Expertise in protein-protein interactions, signal transduction, and/or chromatin structure is preferred, but individuals with experience in imprinted genes, cancer biology, neurofibromatosis, mouse modeling, or tumors of the nervous system are also strongly encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate should demonstrate passion for science, the ability to work independently and efficiently, and the ability to think critically and creatively about scientific problems. Strong verbal and written communication skills are required.
Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae, a brief description of their research interests and career goals, and contact information for three references to  Dr. Karlyne Reilly by email to reillyk@mail.nih.gov .
