Post-doctoral Fellowhsip in Pharmacy

The aim of this project is to study the resistance to B-raf inhibitors in metastatic melanoma in order to explore how factors involved in this phenomenon can modulate the tumor response. We will explore the complexity of the microenvironment and tumor heterogeneity, the melanoma invasion process and diferences in oxidative metabolism during its progression. 

It is required previous research experience in the field of cell and molecular biology, human cell culture, fluorescence microscopy, flow citometry and, above all, in detection of reactive oxygen species techniques, experience in biochemical redox processes and oxidative metabolism. Besides, the candidate must have prior relevant publications as the first author in the field. 

The application must be made by e-mail to the project supervisor Silvya Stuchi Maria-Engler (silvya@usp.br). In addition to the e-mail, a curriculum vitae must be attached, as well as a document proving that the candidate holds a doctor's degree and at least two letters of recommendation.

The evaluation of the proposals will consider the following aspects: search history of the candidate and analysis of the letters of recommendation received. With regard to curricular analysis, the number of publications of the candidate will not be considered, but mainly their quality and relevance. In addition, applicants will be summoned for an in-person or online interview with the supervisor to assess adherence to the candidate's areas of expertise for research topics related to the project. 

The vacancy is open for Brazilians and foreigners. The selected will receive FAPESP Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the amount of R$ 7,174.80 per month and Technical Reserve. The Technical Reserve of PD Grant is equivalent to 15% of the annual value of the scholarship and is intended to meet unforeseen expenses directly related to the research activity.

If the PD grant holder resides in a different address and needs to move to the city where the research institution is located, he/she may be entitled to a grant-installation. More information about the FAPESP Postdoctoral
