Position Summary
Postdoctoral positions funded by the NIH and MSU Research Foundation are open in the laboratory of Dr. Dohun Pyeon (http://www.pyeonlab.org/) at Michigan State University. Our research group is uniquely positioned to carry out basic and translational cancer research by integrating patient specimens, unique mouse models, in vitro cell culture systems, recombinant virus production, genome-wide CRISPR, small-molecule screens, and single-cell analyses.

Successful candidates will lead projects to define the mechanisms of virus-driven cancer immune evasion and to develop novel cancer immunotherapy targeting newly discovered immune regulators. These positions are supported for first-year postdoctoral scholars who are committed to building an independent research program through NIH career development (K) awards, and applicants must therefore be within the first year of postdoctoral training at the time of appointment. Candidates must hold a recent Ph.D. and/or M.D...
