Circulating Tumor Cells for Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis

A postdoctoral position in translational medicine is available immediately in the Kuhn Laboratory, Cell Biology, at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA for participation in research using fluid biopsies to investigate therapeutic pressure created by chemo resistance. This position will focus on the EGFR pathway and ERCC1 related DNA repair mechanisms as they relate to chemo resistance and chemo sensitivity cancer biology.

Candidates must have a PhD degree with strong cancer biology training and immunochemistry assay development experience. Knowledge about the biology of non-small cell lung cancer in particular is preferred. Suitable candidates must also have excellent organizational and communication skills and must be highly motivated individuals.  Applicants should send a cover letter indicating research skills, experience, goals, and contact information (email address and phone number), curriculum vitae and a minimum of three references to: Peter Kuhn, PhD (enunez@scripps.edu)
