Job Description

Fellow position is available in the Department of Immunology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX. Our research is to understand the molecular basis of T cell mediated immune responses, and how abnormal immune regulation leads to immunodeficiency, autoimmunity and cancer.

Autoimmunity and inflammation mouse models include experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), colitis, and lung airway inflammation; tumor immunity models include T cell-mediated immune responses against transplanted melanoma, chemical induced sarcoma, and lung cancer.

The Dr. Nurieva lab at the MD Anderson Cancer Center is recruiting a researcher to conduct research in the following projects: 

1. The molecular mechanisms of T cell activation and tolerance;

2. The signaling and transcriptional mechanisms underlying T helper cell differentiation and function.

Candidates should have a recent Ph.D. degree or in the process of completing Ph.D. training or a visiting scholar and  a solid background in Immunology, with preferred hands-on experience in flow cytometry, molecular techniques, and mouse models of autoimmunity and/or anti-tumor immunity.

Send curriculum vitae and names of three references to: Dr. Roza Nurieva, e-mail: rnurieva@mdanderson.org.
