Candidates should have a Ph.D. in the biological sciences with emphasis in molecular, cellular or developmental biology, genetics or biochemistry. We are seeking a candidate with demonstrated expertise in immunology, with a research program that addresses questions of fundamental immunology or biomedical applications.
