Postdoctoral and Clinical Fellows

Inquiries about postdoctoral position should be emailed to Wendell Lim (limpostdoc@ucsf.edu). Please include three letters of reference and include applicant's name in the subject line.

Positions to work on Cell Therapies for Brain Cancers, Neuroinflammation, and Neurodegeneration

We are seeking outstanding and motivated scientists and fellows to work on an ARPA-H supported project aimed at using cutting-edge synthetic biology approaches to develop smart cell therapies for diseases of the brain, including: a) brain cancers (primary and metastases), b) neuroinflammation, and c) neurodegeneration. Applicants should have extensive experience in synthetic biology and cell engineering and/or with in vitro and in vivo models of brain tumors, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. We currently have a pipeline of several therapies, including a phase I trial for glioblastoma. We have a particular interest in recruiting scientist to push forward cell therapies to treat brain metastases, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Inquiries should be emailed to Wendell Lim (limpostdoc@ucsf.edu)
