General Summary / Overview Statement :
The DeKosky Laboratory for Immune Engineering and Drug Discovery (, Google Scholar : ) is seeking to grow in the hiring of a new postdoctoral researcher to apply high-throughput antibody functional screening against a variety of human diseases, including infectious diseases and other targets in cancer and autoimmunity.
These efforts will advance basic understanding of immune protection mechanisms while also generating new techniques for rapid and personalized drug discovery.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals that are curious about immune protection and want to participate in the exciting world of understanding how advanced antibody screening technologies can be leveraged to fight diseases.
The selected candidate will join a dynamic research team at the forefront of antibody biotechnology and perform experiments to discover and improve antibody discovery for both basic academic understanding and for translational drug and product development.
The selected candidate will join a dynamic research team at the forefront of antibody display and engineering. Our studies are fully funded by the several organizations, including the US National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and several other organizations, with several ongoing efforts and new projects ready to begin.
Required qualifications include a , biochemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics, microbiology, or a related field. Preference will be given to researchers with experience in the study of antibody immunity, especially in high-throughput screening settings.
The Ragon Institute is an internationally renowned immunology-focused research center located in Kendall Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and with affiliations with MGH, Harvard, and MIT.
This position is ideal for individuals who are interested in launching a career as biomedical research leaders in either academia or industry.
Successful candidates will be immersed in a rich scientific community and become experts in advanced high-throughput drug development and establish cutting-edge drug screening approaches while being a part of a supportive, highly collaborative research environment with state-of-the-art facilities.
The hired candidate will also be an affiliate of MIT, with access to MIT campus research resources and community facilities.
