Company Overview

The people of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are united by a singular mission: ending cancer for life. Our specialized care teams provide personalized, compassionate, expert care to patients of all ages. Informed by basic research done at our Sloan Kettering Institute, scientists across MSK collaborate to conduct innovative translational and clinical research that is driving a revolution in our understanding of cancer as a disease and improving the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat it. MSK is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and clinicians, who go on to pursue our mission at MSK and around the globe. One of the world's most respected comprehensive centers devoted exclusively to cancer, we have been recognized as one of the top two cancer hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report for more than 30 years.

In compliance with applicable State regulatory authorities, COVID-19 vaccination is mandatory for all MSK staff. Staff are considered fully vaccinated upon completion of a primary vaccination series for COVID-19 (i.e., one dose of a single dose vaccine or a final dose of a multi-dose vaccine series). Exceptions from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement are permitted for those who request and receive an approved medical or fully remote exemption. Requests for medical exemption can take up to two weeks to review. Vaccination or an approved medical exemption is required to start work.

Note: Individuals are eligible to receive a COVID-19 booster two months after completion of a primary vaccination series for COVID-19. Because vaccine-induced immunity can wane over time, MSK continues to strongly urge all staff to get a COVID-19 booster as soon as they become eligible to maintain their protective immunity for a longer period.

Job Description

The Tulpule lab is seeking enthusiastic postdoctoral fellows to lead multi-disciplinary projects at the interface of cancer signaling, biomolecular condensates, and DNA repair. Dr. Tulpule is a physician-scientist and pediatric oncologist who recently moved from UCSF to MSKCC and is excited to have multiple positions available to grow the lab. We will pair fundamental mechanistic biology about cancer-driving fusion oncoproteins with clinical/translational science that is uniquely enabled by MSK's vast compendium of patient-derived tumor models and human samples, with the goal of developing new treatments for pediatric cancer.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in molecular biology and biochemical techniques and have a strong track record of publications. Previous experience in either: (1) cancer signaling, especially RTK and/or RAS biology, or (2) DNA repair biology and techniques, is beneficial, but not required. Most importantly, we value independent and thoughtful individuals who love doing science in a supportive environment.

This is a perfect position for someone seeking direct mentorship from a young investigator, while still having the expertise of senior PIs at MSKCC and the Tow Center and access to state-of-the-art facilities and cores throughout MSK, Rockefeller, and Weill-Cornell Medical School (as part of the tri-institutional campus). MSKCC provides competitive salaries, full benefits including paid family leave, and importantly, access to subsidized institutional housing. The lab places a premium on mentorship and this role will position postdoctoral fellows for successful careers in academia or industry.

Interested candidates should email Dr. Tulpule ([Please click the Apply button for the link or address]) to apply and include a cover letter that includes career objectives, a CV, and names of 3 references. Additional information can be found at: https://www.mskcc.org/research-areas/labs/asmin-tulpule

The ideal candidate should have:

• A PhD or MD
• Strong track record of publications

• Experience with biochemistry and cell and molecular biology techniques
• Most importantly, a willingness and excitement to learn and discover new biology
