Post-doctoral position in microscopy of cancer metastasis available at Cornell

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I hope you had a good holiday season. I am writing because we have an open position for a post-doctoral researcher on a new project that will focus on in vivo microscopy of cancer metastasis in the brain of rodent models. This is an exciting project that is part of a large new center here at Cornell. We are looking for a highly motivated and accomplished young scientist for this position. I would greatly appreciate it if you could let any appropriate graduate students or post-docs in your lab know of this opportunity.
Best,
Chris
Post-doctoral position using in vivo nonlinear microscopy to study cancer metastasis in Biomedical Engineering department at Cornell University. A collaborative effort by cancer biologists and in vivo imaging experts will focus on visualizing the interaction of circulating tumor cells with the endothelium of cerebral blood vessels in order to improve understanding of the physiological mechanisms of metastasis. Ph.D. in a relevant discipline with an exceptional publication record is required. Expertise in cancer biology or in vivo microscopy is welcome, but not essential. Willingness to work in a highly interdisciplinary research environment is expected. Multiple years of support are possible, and salary and benefits are competitive. Women and minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. Please send CV, statement of research interests, and the names of three references to: Prof. Chris Schaffer by email: cs385@cornell.edu For information about research group: www.bme.cornell.edu/schafferlab
This position will be part of a new NIH-funded center at Cornell: Exciting opportunities exist for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to work on research projects in the new Center on the Microenvironment and Metastasis at Cornell. The Center is one of 12 new research centers established across the country by the National Cancer Institute. These Physical Science-Oncology Centers (PS-OCs) form a network designed to bring together experts from the physical sciences/engineering and cancer biology/oncology fields to explore new physical sciences approaches to understanding cancer. PS-OCs are expected to catalyze new interactions and generate new bodies of knowledge and new fields of cancer study. The network will support the development of clinical advances, by identifying and defining the critical aspects of the "physics, chemistry, and engineering" that shape and govern the emergence and behavior of cancer at all scales.
