Postdoctoral Research Associate - Immunology

Job description

A Postdoctoral Research Associate will be recruited to conduct research on regulatory T cells in the contexts of autoimmune inflammation and anti-tumor immunity. He or she will be guided by PI to design and conduct experiments with mouse models and human T cells isolated from healthy donors. Besides, she or he will collaborate with other team members to analyze the results and present the findings in scientific journals and conferences. A postdoctoral researcher position is available in Dr. Yongqiang (Yong) Feng’s laboratory at the Department of Immunology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (www.stjude.org/feng). Dr. Feng’s laboratory employs innovative approaches and cutting-edge technologies to unravel the functions and mechanisms underlying regulatory T cell mediated regulation of tissue integrity and tumor immune evasion at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. Highly motivated candidates with recently obtained Ph.D.s or equivalent degrees in immunology, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell or developmental biology, or bioinformatics are invited to apply. The candidate will be supported by a NIH grant to explore regulatory T cells based on newly developed exper...
