Spatial Immuno-Oncology Researcher Faculty

Spatial Immuno-Oncology Researcher FacultyThis position is a research-focused tenure-track faculty position to lead an independent research program focused on spatial immuno-oncology, utilizing cutting-edge technologies (e.g., spatial transcriptomics, spatial proteomics, imaging mass cytometry) to study the tumor microenvironment. This position offers a unique opportunity to join a world-class team dedicated to understanding and advancing the field of cancer immunology through innovative spatial analysis of the tumor microenvironment.Successful candidates will hold a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree in pathology, immunology, cancer biology, or a related field, and demonstrate a strong record of research excellence evidenced by publications in high-impact journals. They will bring significant expertise in spatial biology technologies, tumor microenvironment analysis, and immuno-oncology, along with a proven history of securing extramural funding. Ideal candidates will also possess strong leadership, communication, and mentorship skills, and thrive in collaborative, multidisciplinary environments. Those with backgrounds in anatomic or clinical pathology, combined with translational or basic research in immuno-oncology, will find exceptional opportunities to make a meaningful impact in this role.Demonstrated success in securing extramural research funding (e.g., NIH, DoD, NSF, major private foundations, or equivalent)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. Led by founding director Zihai Li, MD, PhD, the PIIO builds upon a rich portfolio of active investigator-initiated IO clinical trials being conducted at the OSUCCC – James. PIIO faculty conduct research in Systems and Translational IO. The PIIO is supported by our Immune Monitoring and Discovery Platform (IMDP), which provides comprehensive cell-based and molecule-based immunoassay services to support basic, translational, and clinical IO studies. The PIIO's Immuno-Oncology Informatics Group (IOIG) provides data analytics for flow and mass cytometry, bulk and single-cell RNA-Seq, spatial transcriptomics and imaging, neoantigen discovery, and more.To be considered, please submit your application electronically via Workday.
