We are seeking a candidate to join the Pitter Lab as Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center in Columbus Ohio. The Pitter lab is interested in understanding the role of tumor heterogeneity in cancer biology and therapeutic resistance, with a special interest in radiation resistance and pancreatic cancer.

We approach this question using a combination of sophisticated genetically engineered mouse models, single cell transcriptomics, tracing and ablation of distinct tumor cell lineages, CRISPR-mediated gene regulation, and advanced imaging techniques. We have NIH-funding and intramural funding available to support a motivated Post-Doctoral Fellow specifically focused on intertumoral heterogeneity and radiation resistance in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
