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.

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.

Compensation and Benefits

Our employees are compensated in many ways for their contributions to our mission, including competitive pay, exceptional health benefits, retirement plans, paid time off, and a range of recognition and wellness programs.
