Description
We are seeking a PhD or MD/PhD scientist to join our group as a postdoctoral research fellow. He/She will be involved in investigating the role of the inflammatory myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment and the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which tumor modulates their immune functions in cancer patients. Specifically, the researcher will investigate the role of the tumor-infiltrating macrophages and neutrophils in the regulation of tumor-specific T cell and NK cell responses in lung cancer patients. Also, He/She will investigate the ability of tumor-associated neutrophils and macrophages to regulate anti-tumor antibody-triggered immune responses.
He/she need to be able to perform the flow cytometry-based assays, tissue culturing, processing human specimens, cytokine multi-plex assay, ELISA, ELISpot. Skills in a molecular biology such as DNA/RNA extraction and analysis, standard and quantitative PCR, conventional and next-generation sequencing are desired. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to participate in design and performing experiments, data analysis and presentation. The candidate will work independently to manage daily research projects, data collection and organization of the laboratory. He/she must be able to identify and resolve technical problems, and use analytical and decision-making skills to implement assigned projects. He/she will be required to write up the manuscripts.
