Fred Hutch
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is an independent, nonprofit organization providing adult cancer treatment and groundbreaking research focused on cancer and infectious diseases. Based in Seattle, Fred Hutch is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Washington.
With a track record of global leadership in bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy and COVID-19 vaccines, Fred Hutch has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading cancer, infectious disease and biomedical research centers. Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states. Together, our fully integrated research and clinical care teams seek to discover new cures to the world’s deadliest diseases and make life beyond cancer reality.
At Fred Hutch we value collaboration, compassion, determination, excellence, innovation, integrity and respect. Our mission is directly tied to the humanity, dignity and inherent value of each employee, patient, community member and supporter. Our commitment to learning across our differences and similarities make us stronger. We seek employees who bring different and innovative ways of seeing the world and solving problems.
We are looking to hire a PhD or MD/PhD scientist with strong training in immunology and/or hematopoietic stem cell biology, who is motivated to develop a research trajectory in cord blood transplantation and immune reconstitution. The successful candidate will receive close scientific mentorship while being encouraged to progressively develop independence in experimental design, data analysis, and project leadership. This individual should be able to work productively within a mentored framework while demonstrating the initiative and critical thinking skills needed to drive projects forward. They will contribute meaningfully to team‑based science, including collaborations with clinicians, bioinformaticians, and shared resource cores, with the long‑term goal of developing an independent scientific profile.
