Open Postdoctoral position, faculty mentor Amanda Kirane

We are currently seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Trainee in the field of Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapeutics, and Computational Immunology.  The successful candidate will work at the intersection of immunology, cancer biology, and bioinformatics with focus on the application of novel computational approaches, particularly spatial biology, to decode the complexities of immune response and therapeutic resistance in cancer. As a Postdoctoral Trainee, you will conduct groundbreaking and innovative research using techniques including, but not limited, to multiplex spatial IHC, genetic sequencing data analysis, study of immune cell signatures in tumor microenvironments, and immune response modeling.  You’ll be encouraged to develop your independent research questions and methodologies under mentorship of expert staff and multidisciplinary collaborations in Materials Science, Engineering, Molecular Biology, and Bioinformatics.
Training overview:

• Individualized mentorship from a vibrant group of successful faculty from the Department of Surgery, the Stanford Cancer Center, Stanford Immunology, Stanford Engineering, and international collaborators in Bioinformatics and Bioassay design.
• Opportunities for didactic training in cancer research, immunology, clinical methodology, and bioinformatics.
• Access to a wealth of translational patient data from local and national leading studies as well as historic biospecimens.
• Clinical exposure through clinical trial design and clinic shadowing
• Opportunities to develop and apply for research grants and academic society sponsorship.
• Stanford University offers excellent benefits and competitive salaries.

Funding support is available for 1 year with renewal up to 3-5 years of training.
