This dynamic environment offers opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge research and develop skills that are valuable for future academic or industry careers.

What is an Immunology Postdoctoral job?

An Immunology Postdoctoral job is a research-focused position designed for individuals who have recently earned a Ph.D. in immunology or a related field. Postdoctoral fellows work under the supervision of senior researchers or principal investigators to conduct experiments, analyze data, and publish scientific findings. They often explore immune system mechanisms, disease pathology, and potential therapeutic strategies. These roles provide advanced training, helping researchers gain expertise before pursuing independent academic, industry, or government career opportunities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Immunology Postdoctoral position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Immunology Postdoctoral, you need a Ph.D. in immunology or a related field, a solid background in experimental design, and experience with advanced laboratory techniques such as flow cytometry and molecular biology assays. Proficiency with data analysis software (e.g., GraphPad Prism, FlowJo), scientific databases, and possibly certifications in laboratory safety are common requirements. Strong critical thinking, effective communication, and the ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams are valuable soft skills. These abilities are essential for driving innovative research, publishing results, and contributing to impactful scientific discoveries.

Job description

Immunology postdoctoral positions are available in Dr. Hongbo Chi's laboratory in the Department of Immunology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The Chi lab investigates immunobiology, immunometabolism and cancer immunology, by focusing on metabolic regulation of the immune system and the therapeutic impacts on cancer and other diseases. As metabolic pathways are inextricably connected to immunity and cancer, understanding these connections allows us to gain new insights into biological concepts and disease targets. We are particularly interested in investigating the metabolic programs (e.g. amino acid and lipid metabolism), signaling pathways (e.g. mTOR and nutrient signaling), and systems-level regulatory networks that regulate basic T cell and dendritic cell biology and antitumor immunity. To this end, we apply interdisciplinary strategies by integrating immunological and genetic approaches with cutting-edge systems immunology and functional genomics tools, including in vivo CRISPR screening, single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and network reconstruction. Former trainees of the Chi lab have been principal investigators in multiple academic institutions. Please also see the following articles published over the past four years for additional information: Cell 187:205 (2024); Nature 624:154 (2023); Nature 620:200 (2023); Nature 623:1034 (2023); Nature Reviews Immunology 23:363 (2023); Nature 607:135 (2022); Nature 600:308 (2021); Nature 595:724 (2021); Nature 591:306 (2021); Cell 184:1245 (2021); and Nature Reviews Immunology 20:55 (2020);
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, ranked as a best children's hospital for pediatric cancer, offers an exceptional research and training environment with state-of-the-art facilities, along with competitive salaries and excellent benefits, to postdoctoral fellows.
