Postdoctoral Researcher in Metabolism of the Neuroblastoma Tumor Microenvironment

This joint postdoctoral position bridges the Laboratory of Exercise and Health at ETH Zurich and the Morscher Lab at University Children's Hospital Zurich to advance understanding of metabolic determinants in the neuroblastoma tumor microenvironment. The successful applicant will establish and characterize mouse models of neuroblastoma to dissect how the tumor reprograms its metabolic niche, with emphasis on the crosstalk between tumor vasculature, immune cells, and metabolism. Work will involve genetic/orthotopic mouse models, single-cell/spatial transcriptomics, metabolomics, and functional vascular/metabolic assays, in collaboration with the NCCR Children and Cancer consortium. The position offers access to state-of-the-art infrastructure and competitive salary.
