Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Postdoctoral Research Fellow University of Oklahoma Harold Hamm Health Campus The Kamiya Mehla lab in the Department of Oncology Science and the NCI-designated OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join an NIH/NCI-funded study on cancer immunotherapy and immunometabolism. The postdoctoral researcher will be working in a multidisciplinary research group to study novel aspects of immunometabolism, tumor-immune cell interactions at the primary tumor and systemic sites in pancreatic cancer. Our state-of-the art research program utilizes molecular biology and immunology techniques along with multi-omics approaches, including sc-RNA-seq, bulk RNAseq, epigenomics, metabolomics, proteomics, CRISPR screens and genetically engineered mouse models and organoid models of pancreatic cancer. The ideal candidate should possess a Ph.D or M.D./Ph.D in the field of Immunology/ Molecular Biology/ and Cancer Biology with expertise in flow cytometry, cell-based assays, and/or animal studies. For more detail, please refer to our recent articles (Cancer Discovery, 2024, Molecular Cancer, 2026, Nature Cell Biology, 2024, Oncogene. 2022, Trends Immunol. 2022, Gastroenterology 2021, JEM 2020). The Mehla Lab offers a friendly, supportive, and collaborative environment with great excitement for cancer research. Ourfuture research objectives include, but are not limited to, cell-based therapeutics.
