Job Summary
The Chicago Immunoengineering Innovation Center at the University of Chicago is looking for postdoctoral researchers in the areas of cancer immunotherapy, vaccines, immunity, and computational immunology, broadly defined. The research will be highly interdisciplinary so motivated candidates from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The focus will be on projects related to controlled activation of innate immunity in the context of vaccines and cancer immunotherapy.
Applicants from many diverse backgrounds, including cell biology, molecular biology, chemistry, bioinformatics, biophysics, or biomedical engineering, are encouraged to apply as this project will bridge traditional disciplinary boundaries. Of particular interest are technical skills and experience working with immune cells and/or animal models, as well as a working knowledge of immunology. These skills are beneficial but not required.
With support from the NIAID, the candidates will have the opportunity to investigate a diverse array of important and unsolved challenges in the field of immunology including: (i) attenuating inflammation in vaccines, (ii) understanding the mechanism of action for chemically-linked agonists, and (iii) quantifying the activation threshold of immune receptors.
