Job Description - Post-Doctoral Fellow (3289498) Position OverviewThe Center for Precision Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital Martinos Center/Harvard Medical School has openings for highly qualified individuals at the postdoctoral level to work on PET molecular imaging probe/molecular therapeutics (theranostics) development. Our Center is at the forefront of personalized imaging and we are working to pioneer novel imaging and therapeutic agents for individualized treatment of cancer.
We have a long-standing interest in developing and translating targeted biological PET probes for improved tumor characterization for personalizing cancer treatment and autoimmune conditions. Over the past decade, we have produced many PET and optical imaging probes for assessing immune system activation, receptor imaging, imaging of the tumor microenvironment, and interrogation of the metabolome.
Our group has led some of the first efforts to diagnose therapeutic resistance through receptor imaging and feedback loop signaling, monitor and predict the immune response in cancer immunotherapy, and utilize targeted imaging to determine effective therapy dosing. These efforts have led to two first-in-human imaging agents, most recently 68Ga-NOTA-hGZP for imaging granzyme B, currently in open trials for clinical validation.
QualificationsSuccessful candidate(s) should have a proven track record of continued achievement and be self-motivated with a strong work ethic, a commitment to teamwork, and effective communication skills. Strong background in biochemistry, peptide/protein engineering, development of biological molecular probes, radiometals and/or radiochemistry is required. Prior experience in cancer biology, cancer immunology, and animal models of disease is preferred.
Minimum Requirement: PhD or MD.
