Postdoctoral Research Associate - Immunology

Job Overview Immunology postdoctoral positions are available in Dr. Hongbo Chi's laboratory in the Department of Immunology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Research Focus The Chi lab investigates immunobiology, immunometabolism and cancer immunology, by focusing on metabolic regulation of the immune system and the therapeutic impacts on cancer and other diseases. As metabolic pathways are inextricably connected to immunity and cancer, understanding these connections allows us to gain new insights into biological concepts and disease targets. We are particularly interested in investigating the metabolic programs (e.g. amino acid and lipid metabolism), signaling pathways (e.g. mTOR and nutrient signaling), and systems-level regulatory networks that regulate basic T cell and dendritic cell biology and antitumor immunity. To this end, we apply interdisciplinary strategies by integrating immunological and genetic approaches with cutting‑edge systems immunology and functional genomics tools, including in vivo CRISPR screening, single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and network reconstruction.
