Job Details
Responsibilities
Are you looking to make a significant difference by contributing to the search for a cure for pediatric cancer? If so, this might be a right role for you where you will be working in an internationally recognized consortium co-led by Lilly and the University of Heidelberg/DKFZ to identify promising drugs for children with cancer. Oncology Translational Research at Eli Lilly and Company is committed to developing innovative, game-changing therapies for the treatment of pediatric cancer.
We are seeking an ambitious post-doctoral scientist with exceptional communication skills to contribute to high visibility translational research projects. Your work will contribute to the development of a world-class preclinical pediatric testing platform. In this role, you will:
- Support the ITCC-P4 Pediatric Preclinical Proof-of Concept Platform (https://www.itccp4.eu), an IMI2 project (https://www.imi.europa.eu/about-imi) funded by the EU and European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Association.
- Have significant interaction with the ITCC-P4 consortium, with an emphasis on supporting work packages involved with drug target prioritization/actionability (WP2), model development and characterization (WP3), and drug testing (WP5) and biomarker discovery.
- Advance the molecular mechanism of action for novel compounds in clinical development; ultimately inform future clinical trials and patient selection strategies by understanding the sensitivity and resistance to small molecule inhibitors across a panel of well-characterized pediatric patient derived xenograft models and pediatric organoids.
- Work closely with consortium colleagues across the EU as well as travel to EU as needed.
- Identify areas of key need across clinical development and champion creative solutions to address those needs. Maintain external awareness and learning to benefit the organization.
- Present findings at international conferences and publish in high quality peer-reviewed journals.
Basic Qualifications
- PhD in life science related discipline.
- Strong background in the biology of cancer or related area.
Additional Skills/Preferences
If you are described with these skills, you could be a great fit for the role:
- Self-directed and highly motivated individual who wants to learn new techniques while continually pursuing research and publication goals.
- Exceptional communicator (oral and written) with national and international presentation experience, along with strong publication record.
- Proficient in data analysis and reporting (PRISM, Excel, Powerpoint, Photoshop, Spotfire, etc.).
- Experienced with mammalian cell culture; 3-dimensional cell culture techniques.
- Experienced with molecular biology and protein-level analysis.
- Prior work or knowledge of preclinical cancer in vivo model experience.
- CRISPR experience is a plus.
- Targeted protein degradation experience desirable but not necessary.
Additional Information
- This position is not permanent. It is for a fixed duration of two years with potential to extend annually for up to 4 years.
