About The Position

Dr. Hannah Meyer at the Simons Center for Quantitative Biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral position in developmental immunology. The Meyer lab studies how thymus organization and its cells provide an effective education system for T cells, using genomics and mathematical modeling. The successful candidate will study tolerance induction and the generation of diversity in the immune system as part of an interdisciplinary team of computational and experimental scientists. The project uses single-cell omics, high-resolution microscopy, and in vitro models to investigate mechanisms of human T cell development. The scientific approach can be tailored to the applicant's prior experience. Candidates with a strong background in immunology, computational analysis, or wet-lab experimentation are encouraged to apply.

Requirements

Ph.D. in Immunology, Bioinformatics, Quantitative Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics.
Expertise in either scientific programming (C, C++, Python, Matlab, or R) or experimental immunology (flow cytometry or next-generation sequencing).
Experience with scientific data visualization using Python, Matlab, or R.
Resourcefulness, independence, and willingness to take the lead and actively drive the research project.

Responsibilities

Study tolerance induction and the generation of diversity in the immune system.
Contribute to an interdisciplinary project studying mechanisms of human T cell development using single-cell omics, high-resolution microscopy, and in vitro models.
Take the lead and actively drive the research project.
