Job Description

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Gordon Freeman in the Department of Medical Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School. The lab focuses on costimulatory and coinhibitory pathways, particularly the PD-L1/PD-1 and HHLA2/KIR3DL3 pathways.

We are united in our mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS and related diseases.

We conduct groundbreaking research that advances treatment, we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers, and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.

This position will involve examining the role of PD-1 and other coinhibitory pathways in immune responses and particularly on therapeutic synergies of coinhibitory blockade for anti-tumor immunity. A background in immunology and mouse tumor models is essential.  Relevant experience in working with T cells, antigen-presenting cells, cell culture, immunological techniques and multicolor flow cytometry are highly desirable.
