Postdoctoral Opportunity- Yale University

A research opportunity is available immediately for a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral fellow to join our team to study the biology of chemokine receptors in the pathogenesis of T cell lymphomas. We have established an inducible Cre/lox knockout of a chemokine receptor which is implicated in the follicular helper T cell lymphomas and are exploring mechanisms of tumorigenesis in this model. We have developed small molecule antagonists as well as biologics that target this receptor and are using the Cre/lox knockout as well as human xenografts to test candidate compounds for clinical use. Genotyping, phenotyping, adoptive transfer experiments, and molecular biology techniques are required. A PhD in cancer biology, immunology, or pathology is desirable. The applicant must be able to design and conduct experiments, prepare and present their work at meetings, write scientific manuscripts, and speak fluently in English. The applicant will join a group of investigators from the Departments of Pharmacology (Prof. Lolis) and Hematology (Prof. Foss), who are members of the NCI-designated Yale Cancer Center. Each research group brings expertise in different disciplines ranging from biochemistry to clinical studies. In addition, Yale University is known for its collaborative environment and provides an exceptional training environment with access to other groups possessing expertise in additional diverse areas. Please send a cover letter, CV, and names/emails of three references to margaret.mcdonald@yale.edu
