DEPARTMENT: Department of Immunology SPECIALTY: Research
A LIFE-CHANGING CAREER
RESPONSIBILITIES: We are a laboratory interested in understanding and manipulating T cell responses targeting the TCR/CD3 complex. Our final goal is to exploit our findings on TCR/CD3 triggering to develop immunotherapies against cancer. We have a one-year renewable position for a post-doctoral fellow to work with a novel immunotherapy developed in our lab using mouse and mouse-humanized models of metastatic melanoma. Candidates interested in immunology and cancer immunotherapies, with a solid background in cellular immunology, protein biochemistry and/or molecular biology, that are highly self-motivated to develop a career in research, are encouraged to apply. Previous experience in mouse models for disease, gene expression in mammalian cells, and/or methods to study structure of proteins will be positively considered. We offer a supportive and collaborative environment where the post-doctoral fellow will get the necessary mentoring to achieve his/her long term career goals, as well as access to different experimental approaches through our lab, department and core facilities. Applications, including curriculum vitae and bibliography, statement of research interests and long-term career goals, and the names and email addresses of three references, should be sent to: Diana Gil Pagés, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Immunology Mayo Clinic College of Medicine 200 First Street SW Rochester, MN USA 55905 E-mail: ****
