JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: Purpose: An NIH-funded
postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. William Drobyski in the
Departments of Medicine and Microbiology and Immunology at the Medical
College of Wisconsin that is focused on transplantation immunology and
immuno oncology. We have ongoing projects focused on the immunobiology
of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, the pathophysiology of graft
versus host disease (GVHD), and cancer immunotherapy. Specific areas of
interest include inflammatory cytokine networks that contribute to GVHD,
inflammatory cytokine signaling and regulatory pathways that impact the
development of tolerance, modulate anti-leukemic responses, and induce
pathological damage particularly within select organs such as the
gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system, and the harnessing
and optimizing of T cell function for cancer immunotherapy using
genetically modified mouse models, flow cytometry, q-PCR, RNA-seq,
western blot, single cell RNA seq, bioinformatics, and other
immunological techniques. We also have a strong record of conducting
translational clinical trials in which a post-doctoral fellow could
contribute and participate. Recent publications include Journal of
Clinical Investigation 2016; 126: 3541-3555, JCI Insight 2017; 2(14):
93726, Haematologica 2018; 103(4): 717-727, Blood 2018; 132(4): 435-447,
Nature Communications 2018; 9(1): 5037; Blood 2020; 135(8): 568-581,
Blood 2021; 137(9): 1241-1255, Blood Advances 2022; 6(9): 2791-2803; and
Haematologica 2023; 108(1): 250-256. Characteristics of a postdoctoral
appointment: It is expected that postdocs at MCW, with the assistance of
their supervisor, will: Transition to career independence through the
development of professional skills that enable the postdoc to actively
pursue a career of his/her own choosing. Be supervised by at least one
senior scholar who actively promotes the postdoc\'s professional
development. Establish an individual development plan (IDP) that
incorporates equally the postdoc\'s career and training goals and the
mentor\'s research goals. Pursue basic, clinical, or translational
projects so long as effort is focused primarily on research. Publish
results of the postdoc\'s research and scholarship during their
appointment. The postdoctoral appointment is temporary by nature, the
aggregate amount of time spent as a postdoc is recommended to not exceed
five years (not including family medical leave or maternity/paternity
leave). As postdocs are important members of the host institution\'s
community, appropriate levels of compensation, health care, and other
benefits commensurate with\... For full info follow application link.
