Postdoctoral Training Position: Autoimmune Disease & Epigenetics

A postdoctoral training position is available in the laboratory of Jaehyuk Choi, MD, PhD, Professor in the Department of Dermatology and Director, Center for Cell Therapy and Cancer Immunology Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center to study cancer immunology and immune engineering. Our laboratory combines cutting-edge genomic approaches with functional immunology to understand how the environment drive pathogenic T cells. The goal is to develop novel therapies for systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases and deliver them in first-in-human studies at UTSW. 

Candidates must hold a recent Ph.D. in Immunology, Molecular Biology, or related field. Experience with epigenetic techniques (ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq), strong background in molecular biology, proficiency in flow cytometry leading to publication in peer-reviewed journals is recommended. Preferred skills include experience with mouse models, bioinformatics skills (R, Python), background in T cell immunology, and a publication record in immunology/epigenetics.
