Subject: Re: Dana-Farber postdoc opportunity

 I am looking for a research tech: https://careers-dfci.icims.com/jobs/15176/research-technician/job Would there be a way for me to reach out to your undergrads and let them know about this position?

•  Research Technician
Overview
Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute brings together world renowned clinicians, innovative researchers and dedicated professionals, allies in the common mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS and related diseases. Combining extremely talented people with the best technologies in a genuinely positive environment, we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all ages; we conduct research that advances treatment; we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers; we reach out to underserved members of our community; and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.

This position will assist scientists in performing scientific research, development and/or clinical tasks of varying complexity. In general, this position will assist in the set up, operation and maintenance of laboratory instruments and equipment, monitoring experiments, making observations and calculating and recording results.

Responsibilities
The Rashidian lab’s research interests lie in understanding how the immune system responds to cancer and cancer treatment, the possibility to reshape the tumor microenvironment to a more anti-tumor status, and to develop the requisite tools to make this possible. In the long term, our goal is to help better understand why some patients respond to therapy and why some don’t, to help understand what results in an immunosuppressive or an anti-tumor tumor microenvironment, and to develop more effective therapies and new prognostic modalities for early assessment of the response to treatment. In this effort, the lab bridges knowledge of chemistry and cancer immunology, a unique combination.

Applicants should submit their CV, and contact information for 3-5 referees as a single file. Applications will be considered immediately.
