Job Overview
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Malley Laboratory at Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, focusing on vaccine development and cellular immunity against bacterial pathogens.
A central theme of the laboratory is the study of tissue-resident, antigen-specific protective T cells against bacterial pathogens, both naturally acquired and following vaccination.
Key pathogens under study include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Group B Streptococcus, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Required qualifications are a PhD in immunology, microbiology, biochemistry, or a related field, plus experience with protein purification, bacterial culture, immune assays, and mouse handling.
The position demands a strong immunology background, independence and initiative, willingness to take up new skills and responsibilities, teamwork, self-motivation, multitasking in a collaborative environment, and excellent attention, communication, and organizational skills.
Boston Children's offers competitive compensation and benefits including affordable health, vision, and dental insurance, generous time off, a 403(b) retirement plan, cell phone discounts, and 50%-off T-passes; a rotating days/evenings/weekend schedule is noted.
This is an exempt role with a posted range of $70,000–$77,267, consistent with institutional and NIH guidance.
