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 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 is required. 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: 2146. 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 [e-mail].

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. The salary for this role is $78,000.00 per annum. The salary range or hourly rate listed is a good faith determination of potential base compensation that may be offered to a successful applicant for this position at the time of this job advertisement and may be modified in the future. When determining a base salary and/or rate, several factors may be considered as applicable (e.g., years of relevant experience, education, credentials, and internal equity).
