Group Leader, Immunology

About the role

The Biohub invites exceptional scientists to apply for a Group Leader (Principal Investigator-equivalent) position. We seek researchers who pursue fundamental questions in immunology, including-though not limited to-experts in systems immunology, immune engineering, and functional or molecular immunology, with a particular emphasis on cellular subtypes associated with immune regulation in cancer and/or neuroinflammation. Ideal candidates will aim to uncover the core principles and dynamic behaviors that govern immune system function in both health and disease. We especially welcome applicants who integrate quantitative, high-throughput, and systems approaches to address broad immunological questions and principles, rather than those focused primarily on tool or method development. The overarching mission is to reveal the fundamental principles governing the function and development of the human immune system, including via regulatory, signaling, and cell-cell molecular interaction network analysis. The goal will be to identify mechanisms that can help reprogram the immune system's function to monitor organ specific health conditions, modulate cell trafficking, and restore normal immune function in human disease conditions. The Biohub in New York fosters a vibrant environment where fundamental discovery and cross-disciplinary collaboration are encouraged. We particularly welcome scientists eager to collaborate across biology, computation, and engineering to generate transformative insights into immune biology. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative environment of both intramural investigators at the Biohub network and extramural investigators at our partner institutes, Columbia University, Yale University and The Rockefeller University. The successful candidate will have access to world-class resources within the Biohub and across partner campuses. Candidates are expected to establish an independent, creative and innovative research program, as well as demonstrate a commitment to collaboration. The Biohub will offer a competitive package with full funding for research personnel, lab operational costs, and essential equipment. Applicants must hold a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree in immunology or a related field, and have a strong foundation in quantitative or mechanistic approaches to biological research. Applicants should have a record of at least five years of postdoctoral or equivalent research experience demonstrating creativity, independence, and impactful contributions in research aligned with the themes described above. Applicants are required to provide a cover letter and a 3-page research statement.
