Job Overview

The Takiar Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Department of Radiation Oncology, is recruiting for a post-doctoral research fellow with special interest in radiation biology and applications to enhance clinical outcomes. The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, along with the affiliated health system (UC Health), are leaders in basic, translational, and clinical cancer research and cancer treatment (https://med.uc.edu/depart/radiation-oncology/home).

The lab focuses on novel mechanisms of resistance to ionizing radiation that have the potential to translate to the clinic. Recent projects have focused on the role of glutaminase inhibition and nanoparticle based radiation enhancement in head and neck cancer. Ongoing projects will take advantage of access to our animal irradiator, a brand new cabinet irradiator within the lab, and access to the Cincinnati Proton Therapy Center. Projects use existing cell lines within the lab, relevant mouse models, and human samples when required. This is a co-PI led lab, with Dr. Trisha Wise-Draper, whose laboratory studies mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapeutics. As translation to the clinic is a priority, there is frequent collaboration between bench scientists and clinicians.
