The Paczesny laboratory is seeking highly motivated candidates for a post-doctoral fellowship studying tumor immunology including with hematopoietic cell transplantation to treat myeloid malignancies. The major interests of the lab are discovering and validating new biomarkers and immune cells subsets in tumor immunology, generating new cell-based immunotherapies such as T9IL33 recently published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine and highlighted in the New England Journal of Medicine, as well as developing new small molecules based on discovery of novel targets. In this position, you will have the opportunity to develop and lead projects using several cutting-edge model systems including hematopoietic cell transplantation and novel xenograft in vivo systems, and primary patient samples. You will also gain extensive experience and training in proteomics, hematopoietic cell transplantation biology, and pre-clinical study development.
Successful applicants will have a PhD or MD/PhD with substantial hands-on research experience in immunology and/or cell biology or a related field; a strong publication record in recognized peer-reviewed journals; experience with multicolor flow cytometry and in immunology techniques including ELISAs, flow-based cytokine determination, cellular proliferation and cytotoxicity assays; experience with animal models of bone marrow transplantation is required; be meticulous at planning, executing, and organizing the results for large scale assays.
