Job Description (max. 100000 characters):

POSTDOCOTAL FELLOW

JOB SUMMARY:

We are currently seeking highly motivated Postdoc Fellows to join our research team in the Center for Immunotherapy & Precision Immuno-Oncology at Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute. Our research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of innate immunity in inflammation and caner. Projects will involve using multidisciplinary approaches, including immunology, molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and mouse models, to study innate immune response in cancer, with an ultimate goal of harnessing innate immunity to remodel tumor microenvironment for better cancer immunotherapy. The current projects are conceptually unique with solid preliminary data behind. The ideal candidates should have a PhD and/or MD degree and have a strong background and/or interest in innate immunity or cancer immunology. Proficient laboratory skills and a highly self-motivation are required. Applicants with experiences in immunology and mouse models are preferred. For interested candidates, please learn about our research from our recent publications.
