Jobbeschreibung
"Knowledge becomes health" - we are filling this motto with life every day, developing new ideas and improv-ing old-established knowledge. The University Hospital Frankfurt has existed since 1914. Our around 7,500 employees contribute with their skills and knowledge to the 33 specialist clinics, theoretical clinical institutes, and administrative departments. The close connection of health care with research and teaching, as well as a climate of collegiality, internationality, and cross-professional cooperation characterize the university hospital. Post - Doctoral Researcher (We are targeting applicants of all genders) Full time | limited | Announcement number: 564-2024 The position is to be filled at the Department of Hematology / Oncology of the University Hospital Frankfurt at the earliest possible date. The Department of Hematology / Oncology of the University Hospital Frankfurt offers a broad diagnostic and therapeutic spectrum for patients with solid tumors, as well as malignant diseases of the hematopoietic system. The research group of Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Oellerich is studying oncogenic signal transduction mechanisms, tumor viability regulators, as well as therapy resistance mechanisms to innovative therapies with a main focus on acute myeloid leukemia and aggressive lymphomas (see for example Phelan, Scheich et al., Cancer Cell (2024), Jayavelu, Wolf, Buettner et al., Cancer Cell (2022), Mohr et al., Cancer Cell (2017), Schneider, Oellerich et al., Nature Medicine (2017), Phelan et al., Nature (2018)). In terms of technologies, the Oellerich lab uses innovative proteogenomic approaches to elucidate cancer biology. The research group is associated with the Frankfurt Cancer Institute ( https://fci.health/ ) and the German Consortium for Translational Cancer Research ( https://dktk.dkfz.de/de/home ), as well as the excellent research infrastructure of the University Hospital Frankfurt and the Georg-Speyer-Haus. Moreover, the lab has close collaborations with Bioinformatics groups on campus and a strategic partnership with leading research institutions such as the NIH (National Institutes of Health) or the Dana-Farber Cancer Center. The post-doctoral research position is funded by the German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe) to elucidate proteogenomic mechanism of oncogenesis and therapy resistance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The project will focus on the functional characterization of oncogenic mechanisms in acute leukemia by application of proteogenomic approaches in order to identify new therapeutic vulnerabilities that can be targeted by innovative drugs. To answer our scientific questions we are applying the following experimental techniques (among others): Innovative CRISPR-Cas9 screening technologies, quantitative (phospho-)proteomic analyses, NGS, FACS analysis and cell sorting, innovative imaging technologies (e.g. PLAs and high resolution microscopy), mouse experiments.
