Job Description
**The Position**
We advance science so that we all have more time with the people we love.
A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available for a highly motivated and independent candidate to join the laboratory of Dr. Anwesha Dey in the Department of Discovery Oncology at Genentech. The group investigates fundamental mechanisms of tumor biology, with a focus on cancer signaling pathways, tumor suppressor networks, and how these can be exploited for therapeutic intervention. We employ state-of-the-art in vitro and in vivo models to dissect cancer biology and develop new strategies to target key vulnerabilities.
The Genentech scientific community provides access to generous state-of-the-art resources, cutting-edge technologies, and a collaborative network of leading cancer biologists, immunologists, and computational scientists.
**The Opportunity:**
+ Develop and apply advanced in vitro and in vivo models to investigate tumor suppressor function and cancer signaling pathways.
+ Leverage cutting-edge technologies-including next-generation sequencing, single-cell approaches, genome engineering, and spatial biology-to study mechanisms of tumor initiation and progression.
+ Collaborate across disciplines to translate basic biological insights into therapeutic opportunities.
+ Take advantage of Genentech's rich environment of core facilities, including animal modeling, high-throughput screening, proteomics, and computational biology.
+ Join the Genentech Postdoctoral Program, which offers outstanding training and mentorship, opportunities to present work internally and externally, and a strong focus on career development.
**Who You Are:**
+ Ph.D. in Cancer Biology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics, or a related field, with a strong track record of research accomplishments.
+ Must have advanced at least one key research project, as evidenced by a first-author publication (published or accepted) in a leading peer-reviewed journal.
+ Independent scientist with excellent communication skills, strong passion for discovery, and ability to thrive in a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary environment.
+ Enthusiastic about leveraging innovative approaches to address big questions in tumor biology/ cancer signaling.
**Preferred Qualifications:**
+ Hands-on experience with in vivo cancer models (e.g., xenograft, syngeneic, GEMMs) and/or advanced in vitro systems (e.g., 3D culture, organoids).
+ Familiarity with cancer signaling pathways and tumor suppressor biology.
+ Experience with modern technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9-based genome engineering, single-cell or spatial transcriptomics, or high-content imaging.
+ Working knowledge of bioinformatics and computational analysis.
