We are seeking innovative and outstanding scientists with demonstrated potential, a clear vision for the future, and a commitment to addressing important problems broadly related to immunology. Candidates should possess expertise and research interests that complement the wide-ranging scientific efforts of the faculty in PCMM and the Department of Immunology. The faculty in PCMM investigate diverse topics spanning immunology, microbiology, neuroimmunology, aging, and cancer biology using approaches that include genomics, epigenomics, cell biology, structural biology, neuroscience, molecular genetics, advanced imaging, and bioengineering. The faculty at the Department of Immunology similarly pursue a broad spectrum of scientific questions using a variety of approaches and model organisms, unified by a shared goal of understanding the fundamental mechanisms of immunity and translating these discoveries into strategies for preventing and treating disease.
