Job Description
JOB SUMMARY
Dr. Kyuson Yun's laboratory currently focuses on cancer stem cells and tumor immunology using genetically engineered mouse models, patient-derived xenografts (PDX), and fresh patient samples and leveraging our expertise in single-cell genomics. The long-term goal of the lab is to develop novel cancer therapies through foundational discoveries and technology development.
Ongoing projects include: 1) elucidating novel mechanisms of immune suppression, particularly in a sex-biased manner, 2) discovering novel immunotherapy targets through single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of human cancers, 3) developing new biologic and nanotherapies to target cancer stem cells and immune suppression in brain cancer and other solid tumors.
Candidates with a strong background in tumor immunology, computational biology, stem cell biology, pharmacology, molecular biology/biochemistry, nanomedicine, or pharmacology- demonstrated by a strong publication track record- are strongly encouraged to apply. We seek team members who share our passion for research, mission, and sense of curiosity and urgency.
Responsibilities
-Designing and executing independent research projects using techniques in mouse models, immunology, molecular biology, primary cell culture, and biochemistry.
Qualifications
- A PhD in biological sciences, including cancer biology, immunology, computational biology, stem cell biology, pharmacology, molecular biology/biochemistry, or pharmacology.
- A strong understanding of tumor immunology, molecular biology/biochemistry or single-cell analysis is highly desired, and extensive experience in routine molecular biology and biochemistry techniques is required.
-Successful candidates must have outstanding communication and organizational skills, enjoy working independently while supportive of team efforts, and thrive in a fast-paced team environment.
- A strong work ethic and a keen sense of responsibility, adventure, and humor are also required.
Please submit a cover letter and CV to

EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
o Postdoctoral Fellow 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 – Doctor of Medicine (MD) from an accredited medical school or Doctoral Degree (PhD) in medical field (A letter from the academic institution certifying that all student work is complete will be considered for Postdoctoral Fellow 0 only.)
EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS
o Postdoctoral Fellow 0– None
o Postdoctoral Fellow 1– One year of Postdoc experience
o Postdoctoral Fellow 2 – Two years’ Postdoc experience
o Postdoctoral Fellow 3 – Three years’ Postdoc experience
o Postdoctoral Fellow 4 – Four years’ Postdoc experience
