Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Immunology – T Cells, Inflammation, and Cancer at University of Toronto University of Toronto in Canada

The Mallevaey Lab at the University of Toronto is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join their dynamic and collaborative research team. The lab specializes in immunology, with a particular focus on T cells, including invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells and mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells. Research in the lab explores the roles of these cells in intestinal inflammation, cancer, and the interactions between the microbiome and the immune system. The team employs a combination of fundamental immunology, innovative mouse models, and emerging human immunology approaches to address key questions in immune regulation and disease.

The Department of Immunology at the University of Toronto is a vibrant academic community, comprising approximately 60 faculty members across multiple campuses and hospital-based research institutes. This environment provides ample opportunities for collaboration and professional development.

Applicants should hold a PhD in Immunology or a related discipline and demonstrate intellectual curiosity, collaboration skills, and drive. Candidates with expertise in humanized mouse models, bioinformatics, computational analysis, or advanced imaging are especially encouraged to apply. The position offers the chance to develop new skills in cutting-edge immunology while contributing unique strengths to the lab’s research portfolio.

While specific funding details are not provided, postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Toronto typically include a stipend. Interested candidates should email their CV and a brief description of their research interests to Professor Thierry Mallevaey at [email protected].
