Post-Doctoral Fellow - Tumor Immunology, Microbiome

The team led by Dr.Dzutsev within the Laboratory of Integrative Cancer Immunology at the National Cancer Institute investigates the structure and composition of the cancer immune microenvironment and different factors that shape it, such as the microbiome (of barrier surfaces, such as gut, and intratumoral). They also explore the mechanisms that trigger immune cells activation, ultimately leading to the elimination of tumor cells. Additionally, the group investigates the effects of the microbiome on the host immune system and examines the underlying mechanisms.

We are looking for motivated post-doctoral fellows interested in learning and doing research in immunology, cancer biology, microbiome, and immunotherapy using state-of-the art wet lab and bioinformatics tools. Positions available both in wet lab and in Bioinformatics. These are full-time training positions, and they are available immediately. The appointment duration is up to 5 years. The job requires an Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent received within five years of starting the program. Stipends are commensurate with education and experience.

Please send a cover letter describing your research experience and interests, CV including bibliography, and contact information for three references to:
