  • Direct experience with CAR T cells, in vitro immunologic assays, flow cytometry, and murine tumor models is highly desirable.

  • Experience with single-cell RNA-sequencing, spatial biology/transcriptomics, or computational/bioinformatic approaches is a plus.

  • Prior authorship of peer-reviewed publications.

  • Ability to work independently and contribute significantly to scientific writing and manuscripts.

  • Meticulous attention to detail and labmanagement skills.

  • Excellent communication skills and fluency in English.
