Recruiting postdoctoral fellow positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Shao-Cong Sun in the Department of Immunology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Selected candidates will participate in innovative projects studying the molecular basis of T cell activation, metabolic reprogramming, and exhaustion using mouse models of antitumor immunity and autoimmune diseases. The Sun lab also studies the signaling network in innate immune cells that regulate inflammation and T cell functions. For more information, please refer to our recent publications:

The Sun laboratory has a long history of success in research and postdoctoral training. Candidates should have a solid background in immunology, with hands-on experience in flow cytometry, molecular techniques, and mouse models of anti-tumor immunity and/or autoimmune diseases.
