Job Description:
The Markowitz lab is seeking a Research Scientist I whose skills and personal and professional experience have prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. The lab's research interest is in studying immune suppressor cells, their role in the development of melanoma, and means of inhibiting their actions. We are also developing tools to predict which patients are likely to fail immune-based therapy via novel high dimensional flow cytometric, mass spectrometry and informatics techniques, allowing those patients to be treated with other potentially more effective therapies. We are a translational laboratory striving to translate the knowledge gained in the laboratory via immune-based and traditional biochemical approaches to the clinic. https://moffitt.org/providers/joseph-markowitz/ Position Highlights:
Additional Info:
Moffitt Cancer Center is internationally recognized for our focus on personalized cancer care and translational research. The mission of Moffitt is clear, focused, and fully stated in nine words, "To contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer." With a tradition of excellence that began with the first patient admission in 1986, dedicated Moffitt physicians, scientists, and staff members have remained committed to excellence in an atmosphere characterized by kindness, caring, and hope. Interested applicants should send a single PDF file that includes a current CV and cover letter expressing interest with this position. [Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
