Job description

Position 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.

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.
