"Post-Doctoral Position - T cell-based immunotherapy"

Job Description

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Miroslaw Janowski at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. This 2-year project, funded by the American Cancer Society, focuses on a novel method of T cell radiolabeling and imaging to get an insight into T cell penetration to solid tumors, including brain cancer.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in T cell-based immunotherapy (it might include CAR T cells), including studies on in vitro T cell-cancer cell interactions demonstrated by the first authorship in a peer-reviewed publication. While expertise in T cell biology, radiolabeling, biostatistics, and animal handling is advantageous, it is not mandatory.

Opportunities

You will join a vibrant, multidisciplinary team that offers strong mentoring, access to an international network, and outstanding career growth opportunities. The laboratory operates in a new, state-of-the-art HSF III building hosting many interdisciplinary research teams, including the Institute of Genome Sciences. The salary will be aligned with NIH and UMB pay scales.
