Post-Graduate Research Associate (Wet Lab and Dry Lab)
The Ishizuka lab is recruiting wet and dry lab post-graduate research associates to join a team dedicated to identifying novel targets for cancer immunotherapy and new approaches to profiling patient samples. The candidate will function to drive projects and as part of a team with other Lab members. Your work will be central to several research projects and co-authorship on resulting publications is strongly supported. Wet lab candidates will be expected to design and conduct experiments in a reproducible manner, to interpret their results, to conduct independent analysis and to participate in purchasing and other tasks critical to lab functioning. In vivo tumor modeling, cell culture and molecular biology experience are preferred. Dry lab candidates will have access to perturbational single cell RNA sequencing and other genomic data. Facility with R, Python or other commonly used languages in computational biology is expected for Dry lab candidates. Minimum qualifications include:
Bachelor degree in biology, computer science, engineering or other science-related field.
Demonstrated ability to think creatively and to solve problems with a strong attention to detail
Strong interpersonal, communication and organizational skills
Abundant motivation with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
If you are interested in applying, please email your CV and a cover letter with three references to: jeffishizukalab@gmail.com
post-doctoral Researcher
The Ishizuka Lab at Yale Cancer Center seeks creative and driven scientists to lead projects within the Lab. The candidate should have a strong background in biology, with a strong interest in immunology and / or cancer biology research. Experience with in vivo immunotherapy models, functional genomics and the use of CRISPR, protein engineering, systems immunology, and tumor microenvironment profiling by scRNAseq / flow cytometry are preferred. The ideal candidate will additionally possess excellent experimental planning and execution skills, good communications skills, an open mind and a desire to collaborate with others. You will lead independent research projects, report progress and track deliverables, work to develop new approaches and ways of thinking about the field of tumor immunology, contribute to the lab through teamwork and discussion and help to train, supervise and mentor junior staff as needed. Minimum qualifications include:
PhD in a relevant field (biology, immunology, cancer biology or similar)
Demonstrated scientific contributions to the field
Proven ability to solve challenging technical problems
Clarity of thought in communications (written and oral)

COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGIST (DRY LAB)
The Ishizuka lab at Yale Cancer Center is recruiting computational biologists at the post-graduate, post-doctoral and associate research scientist levels to join a team dedicated to identifying novel targets for cancer immunotherapy and new approaches to profiling patient samples. The candidate will have access to perturbational single cell RNA sequencing data developed using a novel approach. You will function to drive projects and as part of a team with other Lab members. Your work will be central to several research projects and co-authorship on resulting publications is anticipated. Facility with R, Python or other commonly used languages in bioinformatics and experience with statistical pattern classification are expected. Career development opportunities in computation, immunobiology and other areas will be made available. Minimum qualifications include:
Bachelor degree in biology, chemistry, engineering or a computer / data science-related field.
Demonstrated ability to think creatively and to solve problems with a strong attention to detail
Strong interpersonal, communication and organizational skills
Abundant motivation with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
