Interested in joining our team?
We are a diverse group of clinicians and scientists with an interest in tumor immunology, genomics, immunotherapies, and renal cell carcinoma. We share a common vision of discovering the key determinants of effective anti-tumor immunity and translating those findings into novel therapies for our patients with advanced cancer.
We are always interested in having smart, innovative, motivated, and dedicated scientists and physicians join our team. Please see below for any active job postings, but if you have an interest in our lab, always feel free to email us at: david.braun@yale.edu
Postdoctoral Fellow
(experimental)
The Braun Lab (Yale Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology / Yale Cancer Center / Yale School of Medicine) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow interested in cancer immunotherapy and immunogenomics to join our translational research team.
Our laboratory aims to understand the key determinants of effective anti-tumor immunity, utilizing high-dimensional analytic tools and patient-derived models to study human tumors. We have focused our efforts on renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer), and our work has helped to elucidate genetic and immunologic features that impact response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (Braun, Nature Medicine, 2020) and to define the immunologic changes that occur with progression to advanced disease (Braun, Cancer Cell, 2021). We now aim to understand the antigenic and immune microenvironmental features that determine why kidney cancers respond or a resistant to current immunotherapies, and to create patient-derived pre-clinical models to aid the development of novel immunotherapy approaches in this disease (Braun, Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, 2021).
Candidates with MD, PhD, or MD/PhD degrees and experimental experience in immunology, cancer biology, molecular biology, or genetics/genomics are encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will be expected to work collaboratively with other postdoctoral fellows, computational biologists, graduate students, and other trainees in the laboratory. High priority will be given to candidates with prior experience in immunology techniques and mouse modeling.
Interested applicants should send a cover letter (describing prior research and future goals, AND listing contact information for 3 references) and a CV to david.braun@yale.edu .
