Postdoctoral Fellow: Immune Cell Engineering and Genetic Engineering

The Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to design and engineer immune cells, particularly chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, with novel functionalities, and to develop methods for monitoring engineered cell behavior, persistence, and biodistribution in real time to improve their therapeutic application in cancer.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and engineer immune cells, including CAR-T and other adoptive cell therapies, with novel synthetic functionalities and reporter systems.

• Build and validate genetic circuits, gene-edited lines, and viral/non-viral delivery strategies.

• Conduct in vitro and in vivo studies to evaluate immune cell efficacy, persistence, and safety.

• Work with the imaging team to track engineered cells in vivo using PET, SPECT, and bioluminescence reporter platforms.

• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of immunologists, bioengineers, computational scientists, and clinicians.

• Present findings at internal meetings and scientific conferences and prepare manuscripts for high impact journals.

• Mentor junior researchers and contribute to a collaborative lab environment.

Qualifications

• PhD in Immunology, Bioengineering, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or a related field.

• Strong hands-on experience in cell engineering, particularly CAR-T cells or other immune cell therapies.

• Proficiency in molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques, including CRISPR-based gene editing, cloning and synthetic construct design, lentiviral/retroviral vector production, and multiparametric flow cytometry.

• Experience with animal models and/or immunotherapy studies.

• Experience in molecular imaging or reporter gene systems is a plus.

• Ability to work independently and within a collaborative team; strong communication and writing skills.

Application: Interested candidates should send their CV, a cover letter outlining their research experience, interest in this position and contact information for three references to Dr. Nalinikanth Kotatgiri at [Please click the Apply button for the link or address]
