The Immunology program of The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
and the Flow Cytometry Core Facility has created a postdoctoral
position for studying by flow cytometry some of the most
characteristic features of the dendritic cells' biology.
The main goal of this research program is to develop new technologies
in the flow cytometry field. Furthermore, the new flow technologies
will provide the ground for developing methods and models for
evaluating the biology of immune cells and cancer cells. The initial
model and technologies will be focused on studying by flow cytometry
some of the most characteristic features of the dendritic cells'
biology like (i) identification of new surface markers; (ii) defining
the stages and elements involved in take up, processing of antigen
and antigen presentation; (iii) defining the interactions between
dendritic cells and effector cells like CD4 or CD8 T cells, (iv)
defining the interactions between dendritic cells and cancer cells,
(v) development of models for cellular vaccination based on dendritic
cells.  Moreover, all the new flow cytometry technologies will be
developed keeping in mind further applications in cell biology and
biology of the cancer cells as well as with great emphasis in its
future translation into medical applications and care of the patient
with cancer.
Candidates should have Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree and a strong
background in molecular biology and cell biology. Experience in
Innate Immunity or host-pathogen interactions is desirable.
Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae and list of
publications, and names of three references to the email address or
fax number listed above.
