Post-doctoral Fellow (Cancer Dormancy & Immunity Lab) Champalimaud Foundation Lisbon, Portugal The Cancer Dormancy & Immunity Lab headed by Ana Luísa Correia is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate to join us on a project supported by an AACR Trailblazer grant. We seek candidates eager to drive significant advances in the area of cancer neuroimmunology, particularly on elucidating how neural signals shape immune responses during the formation of metastasis and harnessing the neuro-immune interface into improved anti-metastatic therapies. The fellow will use a multidisciplinary approach that includes in vivo models of metastasis, conditional mouse genetics, neuronal tracing, chemogenetic manipulation of neuronal populations, spectral flow cytometry, imaging, single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and functional neuro-immune assays. Skills/Qualifications Who You Are:
- Ph.
D. in cancer immunology, neuroimmunology, immunology, physiology, molecular biology, or related fields. Specific

Requirements:
- A strong conceptual and experimental background in cancer biology, immunology or neuro-physiology;
- Hands-on experience with in vivo mouse models;
- Extensive experience with multicolor cell phenotyping by flow-cytometry;
- Proven track record in experimental research, ideally including a high-quality first-author publication;
- Ability to work independently but also in a collaborative interdisciplinary team;
- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills. Preferred

qualifications:
- Experience in peripheral neuroscience, neuronal tracing or chemogenetic manipulation of neuronal populations would be particularly advantageous. Languages:
- English, Excellent. Eligibility criteria National, foreign or stateless candidates with relevant technical training and/or professional experience in engineering, audiovisual/media technology, technical production, electronics, computer systems, interactive installations or related areas, and a professional profile appropriate to the activities described in this call, are eligible to apply. Practical experience and demonstrated ownership of complex technical systems will be given substantial consideration.
