Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and creative candidate for a fully supported postdoctoral fellowship to develop immune-based therapies. Specifically, the research is aimed to develop cell-based immunotherapies for pediatric tumors. Studies are focused on using genetic engineering approaches to not only render immune cells cancer specific, but also improve their effector function. Genetically modified immune cells will be studied in preclinical models with special emphasis on how adoptively transferred cells interact with tumor cells, the tumor microenvironment, and resident immune cells.

Successful applicants will have a strong publication record, excellent communication skills, and a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, immunology, or a related area. To succeed in this position, you will have a strong immunology and cell biology background, with an emphasis on cellular immunology, and genetic manipulation of mammalian cells. Applicants should be a prospective postdoc, or in the early stages of postdoctoral training (within 1-2 years of PhD conferral), and have experience in generating and evaluating human or murine immune cells, gene editing, single cell transcriptomics, flow cytometry, and murine solid tumor models. This postdoctoral position is federally funded through a T32 training grant. Thus, applicants must be US Citizens or Permanent Residents.
