About this position
City of Hope’s Beckman Research Institute is recruiting two postdoctoral scholars for research in gamma-herpesvirus vaccine and immunotherapy. The lab of Javier Gordon Ogembo, Ph.D. is seeking highly motivated scientists to work on prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines and immunotherapies targeting oncogenic herpesviruses, especially Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), and rhesus lymphocryptovirus (rhLCV).
The research program is highly interdisciplinary and combines molecular virology, vaccine engineering, immunology, antibody discovery, and advanced preclinical models. Projects may involve circRNA, mRNA, lipid nanoparticle (LNP), and MVA viral-vector vaccine platforms; antibody discovery and monoclonal/neutralizing antibody development; and studies of humoral and cellular immunity, including B-cell and T-cell responses.
Successful candidates will also use advanced in vivo systems such as conventional and humanized mice, transgenic models, rabbits, non-human primates, and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models to study viral pathogenesis, host-virus interactions, viral entry, immune evasion, and preclinical vaccine/immunotherapy efficacy for infection and virus-associated cancers.
Applicants should hold a doctoral degree such as Ph.D., M.D., Ph.D./M.D., or Ph.D./D.V.M., have a strong publication record, and be able to independently design, execute, and interpret research. The posting especially values expertise across molecular biology, RNA biology, protein engineering, immunological assays, vaccine development, in vivo models, cancer biology, and quantitative analysis.
This position is located at City of Hope in the United States. The post does not list a deadline. Interested candidates should apply through the official City of Hope jobs portal using the application link provided.
