The Sodji Lab is actively recruiting highly motivated postdocs with a passion for cancer immunology in the context of radiation. You will contribute to translational research investigating the cooperative interaction between radiation and immunotherapy including adoptive cell therapies using preclinical murine tumor models.

Duties include experimental design, execution, and analysis of in vitro and in vivo studies evaluating the potential interaction between radiation and anti-tumor immune response to immunotherapies including adoptive cell therapy with CAR T cells. Specific experimental techniques will include molecular genetic techniques, cell culture, ex vivo immune assays, DNA/RNA/protein isolation, gene sequencing and gene expression profiling by RT-PCR, Western immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, immunoprecipitation, and tissue processing.

The ideal candidate will possess a significant experience in immunology and molecular biology. They will also have the communication skills needed to be a member of a team and capable of working independently. They will conduct original research and publish their findings. Publications in the field of immunology or molecular biology is required.

We are in the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research (WIMR) building next to the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH). We offer a friendly, collegial work environment and support mentoring at all levels as well as work-life balance. Madison, WI, is the state capital and a medium-sized city and college town, with a high quality of life and affordable cost of living.
