comparative Pathologist Opening, Penn Comparative Pathology Core
by Bruce Williams Feb. 5, 2022

Feb. 5, 2022

Comparative Pathologist Penn Vet Comparative Pathology Core, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, USA Job Description: The Penn Vet Comparative Pathology Core (CPC) at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine, invites applications for a research fellow position in experimental and comparative pathology. The CPC is an established core facility within the Department of Pathobiology and a fully integrated shared resource within the NIH/NCI-funded Abramson Cancer Center since 2015. The main objective of the CPC is to provide expert pathological characterization of experimental animal models to fulfill the growing needs of the local biomedical community performing in vivo studies as part of their basic and translational research endeavors. In this context, the CPC plays a vital role as it supports several major research programs within the University of Pennsylvania and closely related institutes such as the Abramson Cancer Center, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Wistar Institute. To accomplish its mission, the CPC offers the expertise of board-certified veterinary pathologists and access to a state-of-the-art platform for histology services, molecular staining of tissue samples, and digital pathology. This position will primarily contribute to the mission of the CPC by providing expertise in experimental and comparative pathology. Main responsibilities and duties include: • Expert interpretation of pathological endpoints in the context of diverse preclinical/experimental settings with accurate and timely reporting of pathological findings. While humanized and genetically engineered mice represent the majority of the caseload, studies using rats, dogs, non-human primates, sheep, and pigs are also frequently performed. • Interaction with scientists and investigators to design experiments, discuss results and plan follow-up studies as pertain to the specific research context. • Provide guidance to investigators, students, and laboratory technicians in all those activities and techniques related to comparative pathology (e.g., necropsy, sample preparation, development of multiparametric histopathological scoring system, digital image analysis, etc.). • Contribute to the general management and supervision of routine laboratory activities/services. • Contribute to the teaching/training of veterinary pathology residents and veterinary students rotating with the CPC. This position represents a unique opportunity for candidates who want to deepen their understanding of comparative pathology applied to the most innovative aspects of translational research including the study of in vivo models for cellular therapies (e.g., CAR T cells and stem cells). While the primary role of this position is to support the service activities of the CPC, the program offers ample opportunity to carry out independent projects focused on developing accurate clinicopathological strategies to assess the phenotype of new and existing experimental animal models Qualifications: Applicants should have a DVM/VMD and be board-eligible or board-certified in Anatomic Pathology by the American, European, or Japanese College of Veterinary Pathologists; experience with rodent pathology and digital image analysis is desirable. The salary will be commensurate with the applicant’s qualifications, training, and experience. The application deadline is June 4, 2022, or until the position is filled. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is found. Application Instructions: To apply for this position, please send cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and contacts of 3 references to the following email address: comppathologycore(a)vet.upenn.edu Further information on the position can be obtained by contacting Dr. Enrico Radaelli, Director of the Comparative Pathology Core, enrada(a)vet.upenn.edu To learn more about the Penn Vet Comparative Pathology Core: https://www.vet.upenn.edu/research/core-resources-facilities/comparative-pa… -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

PostDoc/Fellow in Comparative Pathology, Inst. of Pathology, Technical University of Munich
by Bruce Williams Feb. 1, 2022

Feb. 1, 2022

PostDoc/Fellow in Comparative Pathology The Comparative Experimental Pathology (CEP, head: PD Dr. Katja Steiger) in the Institute of Pathology of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is Germany’s largest comparative pathology unit with 2 veterinary pathologists, 2-3 residents (german board certification, “Fachtierarzt”) and 9 technicians working under one roof with 15 surgical (human) pathologists. Our integrated setup allows the evaluation of animal models of human diseases comparatively to human pathology. Our interdisciplinary team of pathologists discusses interesting findings on a daily basis internally and with our project partners in biomedical research. We are a fully integrated part of the biomedical community in Munich and dedicated to collaborative research. We offer a unique comparative pathology setup with a fully equipped laboratory (including several IHC machines) focussed on tissue-based research requests. The unit also benefits from a research interface to the Molecular Pathology Unit of the Institute of Pathology of the TUM, allowing additional research on comparative molecular pathology in spontaneous diseases of domestic animals. Our equipment includes several slide scanners for digitalization enabling also to perform histopathological analysis in a home-office setting one to two days per week. We recently acquired a CODEX (co-detection by indexing) platform, allowing us to perform high-dimensional multiple IF. We are part of several collaborative research centers, thus the successful applicant will also have the opportunity to take part in third party funding application processes. Writing own applications for external funding is strongly encouraged. We process around 600 projects per year with our in-house developed project-management structure for tissue-based research. Thus, the successful candidate will also have the opportunity to gain project management skills including business insights. The TUM, the medical faculty of TUM and our collaborative research structures provide an international environment with cutting-edge technologies and continuing education courses aiming at the individual development. Requirements We are looking for an enthusiastic pathologist (min. 3 years pathology training) to join our team in a PostDoc/Fellowship position. The responsibilities of the successful applicant will primarily include interpretation of animal models and comparative human pathology, as well as communication and documentation of results in a project-driven setup. Team-oriented communication with the laboratory staff and the ability to independently establish IHCmarkers and in situ-hybridization applications are a matter of course. Teaching responsibilities include comprehensive training of comparative pathology residents, as well as PhD students in biomedical research in sampling, processing and tissue-based evaluation. A doctoral degree/PhD as well as a board exam (ECVP/ACVP or German Fachtierarzt) would be beneficial but not essential, and candidates with project management experience will be preferred. An opportunity to enrol in a PhD/Dr. rer. nat. or habilitation programme can be discussed. The position will be limited to two years. Payment will be based on the Collective Agreement for the Civil Service of the Länder (TV-L). Your application: We look forward to receiving your application for this full-time position with the usual documents until February 28th, 2022 via e-mail at katja.steiger(a)tum.de.
