What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Fellowship in Immunotherapy position at National Institutes of Health?
The Oncogenomics Section uses high-dimensional data, including single-cell RNAseq, TCR-seq, DNA sequencing, CRISPR, and bioinformatics to develop T-cell-based therapies for pediatric cancers. We collaborate across NCI and with industry to rapidly translate discoveries. This program spans basic discovery through preclinical models to clinical trials within the unique NCI-CCR intramural framework.
About the position
The Oncogenomics section of the Genetics Branch is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary translational research programmatic effort with the goal of utilizing high-dimensional data, including genomics, to develop novel immune therapies for pediatric cancers. Our group is applying high throughput genomics methods, including single-cell RNAseq, single-cell TCR sequencing, DNA sequencing, CRISPR/Cas9, and bioinformatics combined with T-cell-based therapeutics to identify and develop novel immunotherapeutic for human cancers. We work with other investigators within the intramural program and industrial and pharmaceutical partners to rapidly translate our findings to the clinic. The program takes advantage of the uniqueness of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR) intramural program, which spans basic discovery research in immunology, genomics, and tumor biology through preclinical translational research, to paradigm-shifting clinical trials. We seek postdoctoral fellows with experience or knowledge in immunogenomics, epigenetics, immunotherapy, and immunology. Experience in cell-based therapeutics or immunobiology is required. The Postdoc will develop and optimize novel or existing T cell receptor (TCR) or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies against cancers using sophisticated immunogenomic, single cell, spatial transcriptomics, or proteomic approaches. Candidates must have a PhD or MD degree, or equivalent, in immunology, molecular/cell biology, or genetics. The positions are available immediately.
