Post-Doctoral Fellow – Mamedov Lab
About The Position
The laboratory of Dr. Murad Mamedov at The Wistar Institute is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow. The Mamedov Lab uses CRISPR screens and functional genomics to understand how the human immune system detects and kills cancer cells. We focus on understanding how human γδ T cells sense cellular stress in tumors, with the goal of developing novel and broadly accessible immunotherapies. We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to lead high-impact projects focused on T cell receptor (TCR) tumor ligand discovery, CRISPR screening and engineering of human γδ T cells, and T cell detection of stress-remodeled cancer cells. This work will build on and significantly expand beyond our published work on human γδ T cell recognition and killing of cancer cells (Nature, PMID: 37648854).
Requirements
- PhD in a relevant field (immunology, cancer biology, genetics, cell biology, and so on)
- Expertise in one or more of the following: T cell biology, cancer immunology, in vitro cancer models, genomics, or gene editing
- At least one first-author peer-reviewed publication
Responsibilities
- Lead high-impact projects focused on T cell receptor (TCR) tumor ligand discovery
- CRISPR screening and engineering of human γδ T cells
- T cell detection of stress-remodeled cancer cells
Benefits
- competitive salary
- excellent benefits package
