From MD Anderson Cancer Center's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
CANCER CELL BIOLOGY, TUMOR EVOLUTION AND THE TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT
The Bullman Laboratory in the Department of Immunology, Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, and the James P. Allison Institute at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our interdisciplinary and collaborative research team.
The laboratory is led by Dr. Susan Bullman, Associate Professor and Associate Member of the James P. Allison Institute. Our research focuses on understanding how cancer cells interact with their surrounding microenvironment and how these interactions influence tumor progression, metastasis, immune evasion, and therapeutic response.
We combine cancer genomics, spatial multi-omics, advanced imaging, lineage tracing, and experimental model systems to uncover fundamental mechanisms governing cancer cell behavior, tumor evolution and therapy resistance.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will investigate cancer epithelial cell plasticity, lineage relationships, and cell-state transitions during tumor progression, metastasis, and therapeutic response. They will develop and apply experimental approaches to understand how tumor microenvironmental signals influence cancer cell behavior, immune interactions, and treatment resistance.
The Postdoctoral fellow will be trained to utilize advanced spatial transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, imaging, and single-cell technologies to characterize cellular states and interactions within human tumors. They will integrate cancer genomics, transcriptomics, imaging, and functional studies to identify mechanisms governing tumor evolution and therapeutic response. Trainee will learn to perform mechanistic studies using genetically engineered cell systems, organoids, co-culture systems, and in vivo cancer models.
They will be provided an experience to collaborate within a highly interdisciplinary environment including cancer biologists, immunologists, computational biologists, geneticists, microbiologists, and physician-scientists. Postdoc will gain an invaluable experience in translational cancer research and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.
