Research Postdoctoral Fellow - Bhagwat Laboratory - Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Postdoctoral Scholar

The laboratory of Dr. Anand Bhagwat at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is seeking a highly motivated and creative Postdoctoral Scholar to join an innovative new research program focused on how AML cells interact with the immune system and how this impacts outcomes for children with AML. We view immune therapies as a lens through which we can make crucial basic science discoveries about AML biology.

An example of this line of investigation can be seen in Bhagwat et al., Nature Medicine 2024.

Current projects investigate:

• How the host's inflammatory exposures alter AML phenotypes and therapy responses
• How leukemia lineage plasticity is affected by immune pressures
• How leukemia alters immune function
• Translational approaches to overcome intrinsic leukemia resistance to immune therapies

This position offers the opportunity to address original questions within the vibrant CHOP and Penn research communities.

What we offer:

• A collaborative and intellectually stimulating research environment
• Access to state-of-the-art technologies and resources, including single cell genomics and epigenetic, high-parameter flow cytometry, and large biobanks of leukemia samples from both adult and pediatric patients
• Strong, available mentorship and career development support
• Frequent interactions with world-renowned investigators across the CHOP and Penn campuses

What you will do:

• Conduct independent scholarly research and develop new methods and protocols
• Participate in project planning, recording and evaluation of data
• Acquire technical, lab management and grant writing skills
• Participate in seminars, lectures, poster sessions and presentation at national meetings
• Supervise junior lab members
• Assist with other research projects
