Stellenbeschreibung

***“Research for a life without cancer" is our mission at the German Cancer Research Center. We investigate how cancer develops, identify cancer risk factors and look for new cancer prevention strategies. We develop new methods with which tumors can be diagnosed more precisely and cancer patients can be treated more successfully. Every contribution counts - whether in research, administration or infrastructure. This is what makes our daily work so meaningful and exciting.***

Within the "DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute at the University Medical Center Mannheim", the Division of **Personalized Medical Oncology** (head: Prof. Sonja Loges MD, PhD) is offering a Postdoctoral Position in Cancer Neuroscience.

The DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute was established as a partnership between the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the University Hospital Mannheim and the Medical Faculty Mannheim of Heidelberg University with generous support from the Hector Foundation II.

The Division of Personalized Medical Oncology focusses on the identification of novel cancer-promoting mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment, tackling of therapy resistance and on functional characterization of atypical mutations in major cancer-driving oncogenes. Based on these functional insights we derive novel targets for therapeutic intervention. We translate our research findings into the clinic in the Translational Clinical Trial Unit of the DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute at the University Medical Center Mannheim. We are offering an interesting and challenging field of work as well as an excellent work environment in a dynamic and multinational team, which works closely with national as well as international collaboration partners in academics as well as pharmaceutical companies. The work location is Heidelberg.

### Your Tasks

The postdoc will be working on the reciprocal interaction of the brain with the tumor microenvironment and the immune system in NSCLC. The project comprises state-of-the-art preclinical models for detection and modulation of neuronal activity in combination with genetically-engineered NSCLC mouse models and anti-cancer immune therapies. In addition, patient samples and primary cell cultures will be obtained as well as innovative single cell technologies performed.

### Your Profile

We are looking forward to receive applications from highly motivated scientists. Applicants should hold a **Master in biology or a related field as well as a PhD in this scientific area**, with a track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals. Applicants should have a documented strong expertise in immunology or neuroscience including experience with their respective state-of-the-art methodological approaches. Animal application writing and in vivo (mouse) experience including FELASA B or C certificate are desirable.

The scientist on this position is expected to work independently but collaboratively with other lab members as well as with other research groups. An excellent communication skill for scientific discussion is indispensable and proficiency in English is mandatory.

Full applications should include curriculum vitae, a letter of motivation, certificates, expected availability date, a list of publications and 2-3 references.

### We Offer

- Excellent framework conditions: state-of-the-art equipment and opportunities for international networking at the highest level
