**About Us** 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. **Exciting Opportunity at MSK: Postdoctoral fellow** **Role Overview** The Romesser Lab is recruiting a bold, creative, and highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our team studying therapy-induced senescence, tumor immunology, and translational cancer biology. Our laboratory is focused on turning cellular senescence into a therapeutically actionable immunologic state against cancer. Rooted in rectal cancer, but designed to translate across immune-refractory tumors, our program integrates immunocompetent mouse models, patient-derived organoids, tumor–immune co-culture systems, single-cell and spatial multi-omics, CRISPR-based functional genomics, and deeply annotated clinical specimens. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop and lead NIH- and foundation-funded projects that dissect the senescence–immune interface and identify novel combination therapies that can be advanced toward clinical translation. The fellow will be expected to design, execute, optimize, and troubleshoot experiments across in vivo, ex vivo, and patient-derived model systems; integrate mechanistic and translational studies across mouse models, organoids, co-culture platforms, human tumor samples, and clinical biospecimens; analyze and interpret complex datasets; prepare manuscripts; present findings at scientific mee
