Postdoctoral Researcher in NK Cell Immunotherapy for Breast Cancer

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description A 12-month full-time postdoctoral position is available in the Natural Killer Cells and Anti-Tumour Immunity team at the Centre d’Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy (CIML), Marseille, France. The successful candidate will contribute to a translational research project investigating the role of Natural Killer (NK) cells and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1) in breast cancer, with a particular focus on triple-negative breast cancer. The project aims to define the phenotypic, functional and transcriptional alterations of these innate lymphocyte populations across breast-cancer subtypes and disease stages, and to evaluate innovative NK-cell engager-based therapeutic strategies. The postdoctoral researcher will analyze peripheral-blood and tumor samples from breast-cancer patients. Main activities will include multiparametric spectral flow cytometry, functional assays of NK-cell cytotoxicity and cytokine production, analysis of high-dimensional single-cell datasets, and participation in ex vivo tumor-slice and in vitro tumor-cell assays. Candidate profile . Applicants must hold a PhD in immunology, cancer biology, cellular biology or a related discipline. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated expertise in human immunology and cancer immunology, with practical experience in several of the following areas: . Multicolor or spectral flow cytometry and analysis of high-dimensional cytomet
