Postdoctoral Research Scientist

The Haubner Lab at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) is seeking highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientists to join our research team, which conducts translational research with a focus on gene-engineered cellular therapies targeting myeloid malignancies. We leverage synthetic receptor design and immune cell engineering, informed by target biology and the bone marrow microenvironment, to improve patient outcomes.

The Haubner Lab is part of the Columbia Initiative in Cell Engineering and Therapy (CICET), a collaborative environment that combines synthetic immunology, cancer biology, microenvironment, and systems biology at CUIMC.
