Massachusetts Institute of Technology- Koch Institute
Postdoctoral Associate, Stark Lab
Massachusetts Institute of Technology- Koch Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts, us, 02140
Overview
POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, Koch Institute (KI) for Integrative Cancer Research-Stark Lab, to lead cutting-edge projects to better understand cancer immunology and develop new immunotherapies. Lab projects involve approaches from molecular and synthetic biology, immunology, glycobiology, and biological engineering. Experimental approaches include cloning/molecular biology, protein engineering and biochemistry, mammalian cell/tissue culture, flow cytometry, next-generation sequencing, transcriptomics, and animal models of disease. This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in exploring a frontier area of immunobiology to impact cancer and immune therapy while working with other passionate scientists in a collegial, interdisciplinary environment. The Stark Lab is committed to maintaining a work environment that encourages and values contributions by individuals from all backgrounds and lived experiences. In addition to professional development opportunities within the lab, there are close ties to scientific communities across MIT, the Ragon and Broad Institutes, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Responsibilities
Lead cutting-edge projects to advance understanding of cancer immunology and development of immunotherapies. Conduct lab projects involving molecular and synthetic biology, immunology, glycobiology, and biological engineering. Apply experimental approaches such as cloning/molecular biology, protein engineering and biochemistry, mammalian cell/tissue culture, flow cytometry, next-generation sequencing, transcriptomics, and animal models of disease. Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and contribute to a collegial, interdisciplinary lab environment. Qualifications
Required : Ph.D. in immunology, glycobiology, synthetic biology, or a related area Experience managing an independent research project to completion and publication Track record of innovation Excellent problem-solving, interpersonal, and oral and written communication skills Ability to learn quickly, function both independently and as part of a team, and work with people from diverse backgrounds and at all levels of training Preferred : Expertise in high-dimensional flow cytometry In vitro or in vivo immune models, and/or animal models Human immunology Functional genomics (e.g., CRISPR screens) and/or single-cell transcriptomics Note: This description preserves the content of the original posting while presenting it in a clean, standards-compliant format.
