English## About the PositionA postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Rubul Mout in the Division of Immunobiology, Division of Oncology, and Center for Stem Cell and Organoid Medicine (CuSTOM) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The lab develops protein-based technologies to enhance immune function, control cell signaling, and advance cancer vaccines and immunotherapies. The candidate gains hands-on training, scientific independence, and mentorship across computational protein design, cell biology, stem cell biology, and translational immunology.

Requisition . Employment is regular full-time, 1.0 FTE, 40 hours per week, at Burnet Campus, Cincinnati, Ohio. Research integrates computational protein design with stem cell biology and immunology to understand and control immune development and signaling. Focus areas include de novo protein design and humanization for targeted therapeutics; enhanced T-cell function and persistence using designed agonist proteins; rejuvenation of T-cell development and immune regeneration;

and programming rare dendritic cell populations for cancer vaccine delivery. Applicants require a PhD, MD, or equivalent doctorate in Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, or related biomedical discipline, and commitment to scientific inquiry and project leadership. Preferred qualifications include computational or experimental protein engineering, immunology, stem cell biology, or cancer immunotherapy experience or interest; research accomplishments such as publications or conference presentations;

and proficiency in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication. Duties include hypothesis formulation, laboratory experiment design and execution, assay troubleshooting, dataset analysis, long-term project planning, and development of specific aims toward independence. The fellow prepares manuscripts, reports, abstracts, and grant applications and presents at meetings, seminars, and conferences. Responsibilities include reproducibility, assay accuracy, compliance with institutional, infection control, and biosafety guidelines, interdisciplinary discussions, guidance to junior staff and students, and administrative laboratory tasks.
