Researcher 1-Comprehensive Cancer Center

Researcher 1-Comprehensive Cancer Center## Department:CCC | Sponsored Research**Scope/Summary:**The Researcher 1 will support the Center for Antibody Therapeutics (CAT) within the Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology (PIIO) under the direct supervision of Dr. Zhiwei Hu, Co-Director of the PIIO CAT at the OSUCCC – James. The Researcher 1 will perform structured research assignments and routine laboratory activities supporting translational cancer research focused on antibodies and proteins, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and antibody-based CAR-NK and CAR-T cell immunotherapies. The Researcher 1 will also perform routine in vitro and in vivo laboratory procedures using established protocols; collect, analyze, and document research data; and communicate findings to the research team; assist with literature reviews, figures, manuscripts, reports, and grant materials; maintain laboratory safety and compliance requirements; support routine laboratory operations, supplies, and equipment; and perform other duties as assigned.**Required Qualifications*** Bachelor's degree in biological sciences, health sciences, or a related field, or equivalent experience required; three years of relevant experience required with an associate's degree, or one year of relevant experience required with a bachelor's degree.* Ability to apply basic scientific concepts and follow established research protocols under supervision.* Relevant laboratory experience in biological or health science research, such as cell culture, molecular biology, protein biochemistry, chromatography, or antibody-based methods.* Strong organizational, analytical, recordkeeping, and communication skills.**Career Roadmap:****FUNCTION:** Research and Scholarship**SUB-FUNCTION:** Research**CAREER BAND:** Individual Contributor - Specialized**CAREER LEVEL:** s1## Additional Information:The OSUCCC – James is the only cancer program in the United States that features a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center aligned with a nationally ranked academic medical center and a freestanding cancer hospital on the campus of one of the nation’s largest public universities. The Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology (PIIO) is a comprehensive bench-to-bedside research initiative focused on harnessing the body’s immune system to fight cancer at all levels - from prevention to treatment and survivorship.The Center for Antibody Therapeutics (CAT) at the PIIO is a specialized technology hub dedicated to the discovery, development, production, optimization, and translation of antibody-based therapeutics from basic science research to preclinical and clinical studies for cancer treatment. The Center will leverage cutting-edge technologies to develop monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies (bsAb), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), antibody engineering, and other antibody-based immunotherapies including CAR-T and CAR-NK cells. This center will serve the PIIO research community, clinical teams, and external partners by providing essential expertise and infrastructure to accelerate immuno-oncology research from basic science discovery to translational research, commercialization towards clinical trials in alignment with the overall strategic growth goals of the PIIO.## Location:Biomedical Research Tower (0112)## Position Type:Regular## Scheduled Hours:40## **Shift:**First Shift #J-18808-Ljbffr Ohio State University
