SPOC-UAW Local 4100 at Icahn School of Medicine (Post Docs), 866 - Immunology and Immunotherapy - ISM, Icahn School of Medicine

The Department of Immunology and Immunotherapy, Division of Human Immune Monitoring Center (HIMC) is seeking highly motivated postdocs to lead projects aimed at supporting translational and clinical research within an Immune Monitoring Center by analyzing high-plex immunologic datasets generated across diverse diseases, tissues and patient cohorts. This role works closely with immunologists, clinicians, wet-laboratory scientists, and computational researchers to characterize immune-cell populations, cellular states, regulatory programs, and tissue-specific immune responses. This position is responsible for the end-to-end processing and analysis of bulk, single-cell multiomic, and spatial sequencing data, from raw-data processing and quality assessment through biological interpretation and communication of findings. 

 

Goals/Outcomes of the Research Project: A major focus of the role is translating complex sequencing data into biologically meaningful insights related to immune activation, inflammation, tissue microenvironments, disease mechanisms, treatment response, and potential biomarkers.

 

Technical Duties: (include any protocols) 

• Perform independent research and process, quality control integrate, and interpret high-dimensional omics data to characterize immune-cell populations, transcriptional states, chromatin accessibility, inflammatory pathways, and disease-associated signatures.
• Characterize the composition and functional state of immune populations to study transcriptional states, immune activation, exhaustion, regulation, cellular heterogeneity, and identify disease-associated immune signatures, inflammatory pathways and candidate biomarkers across patient cohorts and experimental conditions.
• Integrate molecular, spatial, clinical, and experimental data across tissues, disease states, and treatment groups to investigate immune mechanisms and tissue microenvironments.
• Collaborate with we-laboratory scientists, clinicians, immunologists, and pathologists on experimental design, assay troubleshooting, data interpretation, and translational research questions.
• Develop and maintain reproducible analytical workflows and generate, reports, and summaries for ongoing projects, manuscripts, and other collaborative studies.
