The candidate will lead a research group team to identify or validate novel targets, and investigate the mechanism of drug resistance. The successful candidate will be expected to propose research directions and drug discovery projects with global first-in-class or best-in-class potentials. He or She will independently design, execute and manage internal research projects, collaborate with other groups within the institute and manage external collaborations. In addition, the candidate will be able to communicate research updates in the form of oral presentations internally and/or externally and deliver results in written documents for patent filings and publications.Successful candidate will work closely with two academician PI’s (Prof. Peter Lobie and Prof. Yongkui Sun), and has opportunity to work closely with scientists in a bio-tech company for translational research.Responsibilities：1.Build a research group team to explore cutting-edge scientific topics on Disease/ translational biology. It’s preferred to have rich research experience in the field of immuno-oncology and targeted therapy.2.Identify and validate novel drug targets and new mechanisms of actions, and propose early drug discovery projects with high potentials.3.Work independently to conduct research related to cancer therapy and define tumor intrinsic resistance mechanisms of immune-checkpoint or target therapy.4.Independently lead a scientific team and collaborate with other research scientists from the institute and manage external collaborations to deliver results for high value patent or high impact factor publication.
1.PhD in Cancer Biology, Immunology, Pharmacology or other related Biological sciences. Research experiences in Cancer cell biology, cell cycle/signaling, drug resistance or related field are highly desirable. 2.With postdoctoral working experience in world renowned lab, industry experience preferred. 3.Familiar with drug discovery, and experience to lead drug discovery programs from hit generation to IND-enabling studies would be advantageous. 4.Good tracking record of scientific publications.
