Deadline

The laboratory of Professor Jianxin You in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral researchers interested in developing innovative therapeutic strategies for stimulating anti-tumor immunity.

Our research focuses on how molecular interactions between oncogenic viruses and host cells drive cancer (Cell 117:349-360; Cell Host & Microbe 19:775-787). We are also developing nanotechnology-based immunotherapies to elicit antiviral and antitumor immunity against human cancers caused by tumor viruses (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2020;117:13730-13739).

We invite applications from enthusiastic and highly motivated candidates for postdoctoral positions in these areas.
