Faculty Positions
Breast
Cancer Basic Science Research: interests in
experimental therapeutics and target identification,
tumor progression biology, metastasis/angiogenesis,
cancer stem cells and hormone and growth factor effects
in breast cancer.
Postdoctoral Position
Cutaneous Oncology Research: a
postdoctoral position is available to study the
molecular mechanisms of UV-induced DNA damage and
repair, melanocyte proliferation and melanoma formation,
in an exciting new lab whose past work has included the
development of several genetically engineered mouse
models to demonstrate a UV-induced pigment signal
pathway. This work and others has opened up an exciting
field of research on the interaction between
pigmentation and skin carcinogenesis. We are now
focusing on understanding the anti-proliferation signal
pathway of melanocyte after UVB irradiation, the role of
pheomelanin in DNA repair, and the signal pathway of
cutaneous melanoma formation. Our research will take a
comprehensive approach combining mouse genetics, cell
biology, biochemistry, and imaging modalities to uncover
these mechanisms. Ultimately, we aim to find some small
molecular mechanism to regulate tanning response or
inhibit melanoma growth.
Highly motivated postdoctoral candidates with an
enthusiastic interest in our research program are
invited to apply. Please email or send a cover letter,
CV, as well as 3 reference names, e-mail addresses and
telephone numbers to:

Research Faculty Position
Cellular Therapies/Vaccine Development
The Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center of Loyola
University Medical Center is seeking an immunologist for
our Cellular Therapy Center (cGMP/ Clean Lab) facility.
This position will be responsible for scientific
oversight of the day to day operations of the facility,
which includes performance of clinical trials for
cellular based vaccines.
With active and expanding clinical programs in bone
marrow transplantation and vaccine development, the
facility will be responsible for preparation of stem
cells, dendritic cells, and cellular products for cancer
therapies. Furthermore, investigation of applications in
other disease sites is anticipated in the near future.
The successful candidate will be a Ph.D. at the Research
Assistant Professor level, with a strong immunology
background. Prior experience in immunofluorescence, flow
cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and knowledge of
alloeffector immune cells (in particular regulatory T
cells) is required.
Located in the west suburbs of Chicago, the Loyola
University Medical Center campus is the site of Loyola
University’s Stritch School of Medicine and Foster G.
McGaw Hospital. The 125,000 sq. ft. Cardinal Bernardin
Cancer Center houses both research laboratories,
coordinated with its Oncology Institute, and outpatient
facilities, including a freestanding outpatient bone
marrow transplant unit.
Interested
applicants may send CV, publications list, funding
history, statement of research interests, and the names
of three references to:

Post-Doctoral
Research Position
Cellular Therapies/Vaccine Development
The Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center of Loyola
University Medical Center has a post-doctoral research
position in Cellular Therapy and Vaccine Development.
This scientist will work with the Cancer Center’s bone
marrow transplantation program, as well as perform work
related to melanoma, and pancreatic and ovarian cancer
vaccines . The focus of this program is to develop
vaccines and cellular therapies using stem cells,
dendritic cells, and other cellular products.
The successful candidate will be a Ph.D. with a strong
immunology background and experience in flow cytometry,
immunohistochemistry, and tissue culture techniques.
Please send CV, statement of career goals, and the names
of three references to:
