Postdoctoral fellow in Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to join the newly established Immuno-Oncology lab led by Dr. Asis Palazón, as a Postdoctoral Fellow at CIC bioGUNE in Bilbao, Spain. The candidate will study the role of hypoxia on T cell responses and develop innovative therapeutic approaches exploiting this pathway for cancer immunotherapy. The ideal candidate is an enthusiastic immunologist with strong interest in cancer immunology and excellent skills in T-cell biology. He/she will have an outstanding track record and communication skills. We are looking for self driven and dynamic candidates that thrive being part of a team and can efficiently work as individuals.

The successful candidate will work as part of the research team at CIC bioGUNE focused on the role of hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment on T-cell function and anti-tumor immunity.
