Job Description

The Pauken Lab is hiring!

In the open postdoctoral fellow position, the Pauken laboratory is specifically recruiting applicants with extensive computational expertise to drive single cell transcriptomic and spatial transcriptomic projects forward in the laboratory. In this position, applicants will be expected to lead projects both in the tumor microenvironment as well as in inflamed lesional tissues that develop as a side effect of checkpoint immunotherapy. Additionally, a major focus on the Pauken laboratory is understanding the ontogeny of protective vs. pathogenic immune responses in cancer patients, which will involve analyses of peripheral tissues (e.g., peripheral blood, lymph nodes) and application of tools including single cell sequencing of the T cell receptor (TCR) to track clonally related populations between tissues. The major goal of this position is to leverage both human and mouse transcriptomic datasets to identify key barriers to success in terms of anti-tumor immune responses as well as identify key differences between the immune responses driving anti-tumor immunity and pathogenic immune-related adverse events so that the field can get better at improving efficacy without worsening the toxicities.
