Postdoctoral Fellow - IndiaBioscience

Profile

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position to study mitochondrial regulation of NK cell activation and tumor immunity. This is for a collaborative project between TIFR Hyderabad and ACTREC-Tata Memorial Centre.Our research aims to decipher how cancer cells modulate NK cell metabolism and mitochondrial function to evade immune surveillanceand how we can reverse this process for therapeutic benefit. The project involves working with human immune and cancer cells to uncover how metabolic pathways and mitochondrial dynamics shape NK cell function.

Qualification

The applicant should hold a Ph.D degree in Science or M.D or M.S degree in any area of medicine.

Experience

The following are desirable experience for this position:

• Strong experience in human cell culture, immune cell isolation, and functional assays
• Expertise in molecular biology/genetics and cell signaling
• Protein biochemistry
• Background in tumor immunology or related cancer research
• Experience with metabolic assays, mitochondrial biology
• Imaging
