Job Description & How to Apply Below
Description
The Center for Cellular Therapies and Cancer Immunology (CCTCI) at UT Southwestern Medical Center is recruiting tenure-track faculty at all academic ranks (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor). We seek innovative scientists with expertise in immune engineering who are eager to develop transformative technologies and biologics to treat cancer.
About the Center
The CCTCI is a newly established, interdisciplinary center dedicated to accelerating the discovery and clinical translation of next-generation immunotherapies, including first-in-human Phase I trials. The Center leverages UT Southwestern's world-class infrastructure in cellular manufacturing, genomics, and early-phase clinical development to bridge the bench and bedside.
Research Areas of Interest
We welcome applicants using cutting-edge tools to investigate and manipulate the immune system for therapeutic gain. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Machine learning applied to immunological challenges, such as modeling immune responses, antigen specificity, or cellular differentiation
- Protein engineering for immune modulation, including immune receptors, cytokines, and synthetic ligands
- Cellular engineering approaches, such as synthetic circuits, reprogramming, and in vivo cell targeting
- Genome engineering, including CRISPR-based systems, targeted epigenetic editing, and chromatin architecture manipulation for immunotherapy
Qualifications
- Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree in immunology, bioengineering, computational biology, or a related field
- A strong record of scientific innovation and productivity
- Demonstrated ability (or potential) to lead an independent, extramurally funded research program
- Commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and mentorship
Interested candidates should submit the following materials:
- Cover letter
