Within the "DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute at the University Medical Center Mannheim", we are looking for the Division of Personalized Medical Oncology (headed by Prof. Sonja Loges) at the earliest possible date for a

Senior Scientist in Personalized Oncology

Reference number: 2024-0269

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.

Our division 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. Patient samples and data are directly available from our patients or within major academic networks in which we play a leading role, such as national Network Genomic Medicine Lung Cancer (nNGM).

The successful candidate has a strong and original research profile in personalized oncology and is able to independently carry out scientific projects and supervise junior scientists as well as technical staff. Areas of special interest include innovative experimental oncology with a translational perspective in lung cancer, tumor microenvironment, plasticity, therapy resistance, patient-derived models such as organoids or precision-cut lung slices, immune oncology and digital oncology using innovative approaches such as single-cell technologies and machine learning. The selected candidate is strongly encouraged to apply for independent third-party funding (e.g., DFG).

We are offering an exciting and challenging field of work with a high level of independence for research 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.
