Join Our Team! The Center of Excellence for Pediatric Immuno-Oncology (CEPIO) is seeking experienced candidates for a Scientist position to join our team and manage the immuno-oncology preclinical Murine modeling core. CEPIO serves as the central hub to advance and coordinate cross-disciplinary studies in immuno-oncology across St. Jude's basic and clinical Departments, Cores, and Centers. The successful candidate will manage the immuno-oncology preclinical Murine modeling core, with the goals of developing and standardizing preclinical Murine models to support target discovery, validation, and preclinical testing, including the generation of new genetically engineered murine models (GEMMs) where appropriate. The successful candidate will play a central role in developing and managing faithful disease models in vivo (e.g., genetically engineered murine models, surgically induced murine models) to support immuno-oncology research and translational efforts. This position offers the opportunity to engage in high-impact research with translational potential, contributing directly to developing novel cancer immunotherapies. Maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of, and having a high level of enthusiasm for, new and emerging technologies in preclinical murine modeling for immuno-oncology and their potential applications will be important. This includes beta-testing new tools, customizing technologies to fit CEPIO’s research needs, and developing in-house protocols for complex experiments. The ideal candidate will work with collaborators across CEPIO with the goal of establishing faithful models to enable and support immuno-oncology research and translational efforts. Responsibilities Coordinate multiple aspects of research projects and execute laboratory experiments utilizing appropriate laboratory techniques, tools, and methods. Provide inputs regarding research protocols and experiments, set up protocols, and assist in developing new laboratory techniques as required. Identify, process, organize, summarize, review, and report relevant experimental data. Draft sections of research manuscripts as directed. Support monitoring and stocking of supplies, and calibration, maintenance, troubleshooting, and purchase of equipment within area. Instruct other staff in basic laboratory techniques and procedures. Design, troubleshoot, and refine experimental approaches to answer critical research questions. Process, organize, and analyze complex datasets, providing detailed reports on findings. Provide technical support for ongoing projects, including maintaining datasets, lab documentation, and compliance with safety regulations. Engage in collaborative research projects with internal and external teams to advance research and translation in immuno-oncology. Maintain regular and predictable attendance, contributing to a positive and productive lab environment. Minimum Education and/or Training: Bachelor's degree in relevant scientific area is required. Minimum Experience: Eight (8) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required. Six (6) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required with a Master's degree. Three (3) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required with a PhD. Prior experience in lab techniques is preferred. Experience in lab and scientific project coordination, maintenance, and other research support activities preferred. Professional Growth Opportunities CEPIO provides a vibrant research environment with access to advanced tools and resources, including state-of-the-art imaging platforms and cutting-edge molecular biology techniques. CEPIO fosters a culture of collaboration, offering opportunities for professional development and advancement. We invite motivated scientists passionate about preclinical murine models and immuno-oncology to apply and join us in pushing the boundaries of immuno-oncology and immunotherapy in the fight against pediatric cancers.
