The Mamedov Lab uses CRISPR screens and functional genomics to understand how the human immune system detects and kills cancer cells. We focus on understanding how human γδ T cells sense cellular stress in tumors, with the goal of developing novel and broadly accessible immunotherapies.\nWe are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to lead high-impact projects focused on T cell receptor (TCR) tumor ligand discovery, CRISPR screening and engineering of human γδ T cells, and T cell detection of stress-remodeled cancer cells. This work will build on and significantly expand beyond our published work on human γδ T cell recognition and killing of cancer cells (Nature, PMID: 37648854). The successful candidate will have expertise in one or more of the following: T cell biology, cancer immunology, in vitro cancer models, genomics, or gene editing. \nCandidates should be nearing completion of or already have a PhD in a relevant field (immunology, cancer biology, genetics, cell biology, and so on). Candidates should also have at least one first-author peer-reviewed publication. In addition to the online application, interested individuals should submit the following as a single PDF to Dr. Murad Mamedov (): (1) CV; (2) one-page cover letter detailing scientific interest in the lab, potential interest areas for research projects, and career aspirations; and (3) contact information for three references. \nWe offer a competitive salary and an excellent benefits package.\nThe Wistar Institute is in Philadelphia, in the heart of the University of Pennsylvania campus. Wistar provides resources for cutting-edge collaborative research and provides for outstanding intellectual environments and state-of-the-art facilities. The Wistar Institute is a world leader in early-stage discovery science in the areas of cancer, immunology, and infectious disease. Wistar is committed to accelerating research advances from bench to bedside through brilliant science and distinctive approaches to collaboration among scientific investigators and academic and industry partners. Wistar’s dynamic environment supports the advancement of discoveries that will change the future of human health.\nFor more information about The Wistar Institute visit our website at www.wistar.org.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2397,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T21:42:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.378,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":129,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wistar-post-doctoral-fellow-mamedov-lab","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wistar-post-doctoral-fellow-mamedov-lab.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T09:07:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14645,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3854148},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3854148"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwistar-post-doctoral-fellow-mamedov-lab"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwistar-post-doctoral-fellow-mamedov-lab"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwistar-post-doctoral-fellow-mamedov-lab"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wistar-post-doctoral-fellow-mamedov-lab\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwistar-post-doctoral-fellow-mamedov-lab"}]}
