Responsibilities

The laboratory of Dr. Adam Kase, a genitourinary medical oncologist, physician-scientist, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL, is seeking a highly motivated and innovative postdoctoral fellow to join our growing team in Hematology/Oncology. While Dr. Kase’s laboratory is newly established, this position will be supported and trained by experienced staff in the Copland Lab, ensuring a strong foundation for success. The lab focuses on target discovery, therapeutic development, and translational cancer research. This position offers projects ranging from novel molecular targets to next-generation therapeutics (e.g., small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, CAR T therapies) advancing toward clinical trials. Projects will involve drug screening, analysis of patient tumor tissue derived cells in 3-dimensional cultures, patient tumor derived xenograft mouse models, and novel transgenic mouse models. Will have collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of immunologists, pharmacologists, oncologists, pathologists, surgeons, in silico drug design experts, bioinformaticians, statisticians, clinical trial specialists and business development experts.

This position provides a unique opportunity to contribute to high-impact research within the collaborative and innovation-driven environment of Mayo Clinic. The successful candidate will gain valuable experience and mentorship to pursue a career as an independent investigator.
