About the Department You are invited to apply for a position at the quantitative biology group (<a href="http://labs.fhcrc.org/shou/" rel="nofollow">http://labs.fhcrc.org/shou/</a>) in the division of basic sciences at FHCRC. We are interested in using experimental biology to quantitatively examine “cooperation,” because cooperation can be found virtually everywhere: between different cell types (e.g. our body), different individuals (e.g. ant colonies), or different species (e.g. flower-pollinator symbiosis). How can cooperation survive the invasion of cheaters that take but not give? How does cooperation evolve? We plan to study cooperation initially using an engineered system in which two complementary types of yeast cells can only survive when both types are present. Major Duties We are looking for a responsible individual who desires the fun and challenge of participating in the growth of an interdisciplinary group consisting of members from biology, physics, and engineering. This is ideal for an individual who is invested in doing research, training students, and has had extensive experience in molecular biology, genetics, and cell biology, preferably in yeast.

<![CDATA[ Committed to developing innovative cancer therapies, Dendreon is evaluating a variety of therapeutic approaches. While each of these approaches uses distinct mechanisms of action to destroy cancer cells, they all share a common attribute- the potential to be a targeted therapy that addresses an unmet medical need, improves the lives of patience and has favorable safety and tolerability profiles. Dendreon is seeking exceptional talent in the areas of assay development, molecular immunology, process optimization and development of novel active immunotherapies (AITs) targeting cancer. If you are a Scientist or a Research Associate with a keen interest in oncology and immunotherapy, who is fascinated by leading edge/emerging technologies, seeking a career that is as much about personal success as it is about helping others, who is still committed to benchwork but enjoys intellectual stimulation of daily interaction with other Scientists and Research Associates and extended team members then we invite you to consider Dendreon as your next (and greatest) place to work. We have need for scientist or research associate in the areas of product development and pre-clinical discovery. Depending on the specific position, some of the requirements are: PhD degree in a scientific discipline (immunology, cell biology, biomedical engineering or equivalent) Assay development (Flow Cytometry, ELISA) FACS analysis Cell signaling Expression analysis Tumor modeling Mouse colony management Laboratory, material and data management 2 – 5 years related post-doctoral experience Dendreon is located in the great Pacific NorthWest. With offices located in downtown Seattle, you have access to excellent cafes, restaurants, theatres, as well as the world famous Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum Sculpture Garden and spectacular Puget Sound and Mountain views.
