About this position
The Freed-Pastor Laboratory at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School is seeking a postdoctoral research fellow to investigate how pancreatic cancer escapes immune eradication and to support the development of novel therapies for pancreatic cancer patients.
The research environment combines translational tumor immunology with advanced experimental and genomic technologies. The lab uses immunopeptidomics, T-cell engineering, single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, and CRISPR technologies alongside in vivo animal models and human patient-derived biospecimens, including organoids and T cells.
The fellow will lead independent research projects focused on tumor immunology and pancreatic cancer treatment, develop innovative experimental approaches, report progress, track deliverables, and contribute to the training and mentoring of laboratory staff. The position offers a collaborative setting within Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's cancer research and patient-care community, with connections to Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.
Funding details
Full-time salary of $72,000–$76,385 per year. The position is listed as permanent; the advert does not state tuition or stipend funding.
What's required
Applicants must hold a Ph.D., M.D., M.D./Ph.D., or equivalent doctoral degree in immunology, cancer biology, or a related field; have demonstrated scientific contributions; be able to solve challenging technical problems; and communicate clearly in written and oral formats.
