Job Description

The Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope is looking for a talented Postdoctoral Fellow. This position will be in the laboratory of Dr. Helena Reijonen within the Department of Immunology and Theranostics of the Art Riggs Diabetes & Metabolism Research Institute.

Dr. Reijonen’s research is focused on characterization of autoimmune-mediated Type 1 Diabetes. The lab seeks to identify autoreactive T lymphocytes in the blood of individuals with T1D and to understand the specific features of these cells, how they are activated and how they can be regulated. In this regard, the primary goal of this research is to discover novel “signatures” of autoreactive T cells and pathways leading to autoimmunity. The lab also focuses on extracellular vesicles as a means of communication between immune cells and pancreatic islets. The insights gained are employed to enhance disease prediction and monitoring and evaluate effectiveness of therapy.

  • Design and perform experiments and analyze data
  • Regularly communicate and interact with the other team members
  • Submit abstracts to scientific meetings, present and discuss research findings
  • Write and submit manuscripts for publication
  • Write and submit grants

  • Ph.D. or M.D. degree in biomedical sciences, or a related discipline
  • Experience in tissue culture, cellular and molecular biology, and related methodologies
  • Experience of advanced multi-parameter flow cytometry, cell imaging and data analysis
  • Experience in statistical methodologies 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Publications in peer-reviewed journals
  • Good problem-solving and time management skills, ability to design and conduct independent research, learn new techniques, knowledge of the literature, critical interpretation of data and clear data presentation, ability to work efficiently in a team and with collaborators
  • Experience in Single Cell Multi-omics techniques and multiple component analysis programs is an advantage
  • Previous experience in immunology research is an advantage
