Postdoctoral Position - Head and Neck Cancer (m/f/d)

We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral fellow to join our research team to study cellular and molecular processes in the pathogenesis of head and neck cancer as well as the underlying principles of intrinsic and acquired treatment resistance and cancer cell dissemination.

Our experimental and analytical portfolio includes prospective and retrospective cohort studies and patient-derived biospecimens, integrative analysis of multiomics data using computational workflows and bioinformatics, and the establishment and analysis of preclinical models to address basic scientific principles and as a proof-of-concept for innovative treatment strategies.
