About this position
Baylor College of Medicine is recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate for the Hudson laboratory in Houston, Texas. The position is centered on cancer immunology, viral immunology, and immunotherapy, with the goal of understanding immune responses to tumors and viruses and developing improved treatments for cancer and infectious disease.
The postdoctoral researcher will lead projects investigating how T cells become dysfunctional in mouse models of viral infection and cancer, as well as studying human antitumor immunity through the isolation and analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Research methods include genetically modified animal models, high-parameter flow cytometry, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and spatial T-cell receptor sequencing, together with advanced bioinformatics.
Responsibilities include planning and troubleshooting experiments, analyzing data, publishing findings in high-impact journals as a lead author, and collaborating with researchers within and beyond the laboratory. The lab emphasizes career development, mentorship, collaborative opportunities, conference travel, and training in immunology and bioinformatics.
Applicants must have an MD or PhD in basic science, health science, or a related discipline. Prior experience is not required, while experience with mouse models, lymphocyte isolation, flow cytometry, bioinformatics, or next-generation sequencing is preferred. The onsite position is based in Houston, Texas, with a listed salary of $63,480 and compensation generally aligned with NIH postdoctoral stipend guidelines.
