Job Description Exciting Opportunity at MSK: The Romesser Lab is looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join our team studying therapy induced senescence and tumor immunology. Role Overview Dr. Paul Romesser’s laboratory is recruiting a bold and innovative Postdoctoral Fellow to turn cellular senescence into a weaponized immunologic state against cancer.Rooted in rectal cancer—but engineered to translate across immune‑refractory tumors—our program fuses immunocompetent mouse models, patient‑derived organoids, single‑cell / spatial multi‑omics, and CRISPR‑based functional genomics.You will drive NIH‑ and foundation‑funded projects that dissect the senescence–immune interface and fast‑track novel combination therapies toward first‑in‑human trials, all within MSK’s collaborative, technology‑rich ecosystem. Key Requirements: + PhD or MD/PhD in Cancer Biology, Immunology, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline + Hands on expertise in at least one of the following: + Immunocompetent mouse tumor models + Patient‑derived organoid culture and manipulation + Flow cytometry or advanced immune-profiling platforms + Single‑cell or spatial omics + Computational proficiency —familiarity with R/Python for analysis of bulk, single‑cell, or spatial‑omics data (or a strong willingness to learn). + Strong publication record that highlights independent thinking and problem‑solving. + Excellent communication skills (written and oral) and a track record of productive collaboration within interdisciplinary teams. Core Skills: + Experimental Design & Troubleshooting: Ability to conceptualize, execute, and optimize complex in vivo (mouse) and ex vivo (organoid) studies, including CRISPR perturbations and multiplex assays. + Single‑Cell & Spatial Multi‑omics: Competence in generating and/or analyzing scRNA‑seq and spatial transcriptomics data; comfortable using pipelines such as Seurat, Scanpy, or equivalent. + Data Analysis & Visualization: Fluency in R/Python for statistics, data integration, and production‑quality figures that clearly communicate findings to diverse audiences. + Immunological Assays: Proficiency with flow cytometry, ELISA/LEGENDplex, functional T‑cell or myeloid assays, and lymphoid and myeloid co-culture assays for dissecting tumor–immune interactions. + Scientific Communication & Leadership: Strong track record of manuscript preparation, conference presentations, and collaborative project management; ability to mentor junior trainees and foster an inclusive lab culture.
