Job Description:

Dr. Hannah Meyer at the Simons Center for Quantitative Biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in developmental immunology.

The Meyer lab studies how the organization of the thymus and the cells therein provide an effective education system for T cells through genomics and mathematical modeling. For more information on our research program, see https://meyer-lab-cshl.github.io/

Position Responsibilities: The successful candidate will study tolerance induction and generation of diversity in the immune system as part of a larger interdisciplinary team of computational and experimental scientists. Our approach uses single-cell omics approaches coupled with high-resolution microscopy and in vitro models to study the mechanisms of human T cell development. The scientific approach to the project can be tailored to the applicant based on prior experience. Candidates with either a strong background in immunology or expertise in computational analysis or wet-lab experimentation are encouraged to apply.

Position Requirements: A Ph.D. in Immunology, Bioinformatics or Quantitative Biology/ Computer Science/Mathematics/Physics. Expertise in either scientific programming (C/C++/Python/Matlab/R) or experimental immunology (Flow cytometry, next generation sequencing) with experience in scientific data visualization (Python/Matlab/R) is required. Ideal candidates will exhibit resourcefulness, independence, with a willingness to take the lead and actively drive the research project. 

How to Apply: For immediate consideration please apply to the opening found here: Post Doc Computational Position ID: 251 If you are interested in joining the lab, please send a CV and a statement of your past research accomplishments and your future research interests along with the names of three references to [email protected].
