The OSUCCC-James Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology (PIIO) is seeking an innovative immune monitoring expert for a research-track faculty position with The Ohio State University (OSU). The successful candidate will be the Scientific Co-Director of the PIIOs Immune Monitoring and Discovery Platform (IMDP) a technological hub for innovative immuno-oncology (IO) research that is paving the way for advanced immune phenotyping and functional analyses as well as multiplexed biomarker detection discovery methods (PMCIDs: PMC8716174, PMC8744064).
The IMDP delivers cutting-edge technology to visualize the immune systems response to cancer immunotherapy. IMDP resources include Flow Cytometry (Cytek Aurora Spectral Cell Sorter, Cytek Aurora Spectral Analyzer, Cytek Northern Lights, BD FACSMelody, Helios CyTOF); Multiplexed Imaging (Akoya PhenoImager HT, EVOS 7000); Single Cell Epigenetics (10X Genomics Chromium, Tapestation); Proteomics (Orbitrap Mass Spec). In addition, the IMDP educates investigators on advanced immune phenotyping and multiplex technologies and novel immunoassay reagent generation.
The successful candidate will be an expert in immune monitoring in the context of cancer research. The candidate will demonstrate their productivity through authored publications of considerable interest and value to the field (e.g. favorable reviews and citations in the work of others), through presentations to professional societies, and/or contributed inventions, new designs, or techniques which are of material significance in the solution of important applied problems. Responsibilities for this faculty position include:
collaborating with researchers on preclinical and clinical IO studies using immune monitoring tools and techniques
developing, writing, and submitting grant proposals of original research as co-investigator
writing and submitting collaborative research manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
presenting research results at academic and international conferences
advising researchers on new technology and trends in immune monitoring. Developing and conducting educational workshops
training and supervising staff within the IMDP
Applicants must hold advanced degrees such as MD, DVM, PharmD, PhD, or MD/PhD. A postdoctoral fellowship in immunology, immuno-oncology, and/or cancer genomics is required.
