Cancer Immunotherapy

A postdoctoral position is available in the field of cancer immunotherapy, focusing on the capacity of oncolytic Sindbis virus vectors to stimulate the immune system against tumor cells.

Projects require proficiency with handling of mice and extraction of lymphoid organs and cells. Experience with microscopic and in vivo imaging techniques is a plus, as well as a strong background in cellular and molecular immunology. Demonstrated expertise with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and other widely used immunological tools and assays is expected. Knowledge of molecular biology techniques, including cloning, and genomics is required. Candidates without expertise in immunology and molecular biology as demonstrated by peer-reviewed publications will not be considered.

Applicants should be recent PhD graduates or expect to receive a degree within six months. Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae and the names and contact information for three references via email to Dr. Meruelo at Daniel.meruelo@nyumc.org.
