and genetic engineering of T cells. Our lab has pioneered the application of CRISPR technologies to primary human and mouse immune cells, with an emphasis on T cells (Schumann <i>et al.</i>, PNAS 2015). These new technical abilities have furthered our lab’s
research into the genetic underpinnings of T cell biology (Simeonov <i>et al.</i>, Nature 2017; Shifrut and Carnevale <i>et al.</i>, Cell 2018), as well as opened the door to novel cancer immunotherapies based on engineered human T cells (Roth <i>et al.</i>,
Nature 2018). In addition to cell editing, our lab integrates genomic analysis (e.g. ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq), human disease genetics, and high dimensional screening approaches for <i>in vitro </i>and <i>in vivo</i> studies of T cell function.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Working under the direction and in collaboration with postdoctoral fellows, the SRA will apply a variety of immunology and molecular biology techniques to further essential components of
existing projects. Responsibilities will include extensive molecular cloning, isolation and culture of primary human and mouse immune cells, CRISPR-mediated editing of primary cells, analysis of engineered cells (via sequencing and flow cytometry), and functional
assays with the engineered cells and cancer cell lines. Strong organizational and communication skills are required. For exceptionally skilled applicants, this work will extend toward design of novel cellular editing experiments and <i>in vivo</i> analysis
of novel cellular cancer immunotherapies. This position presents an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to integral laboratory skills at the cutting edge of genome engineering and immunology in a dynamic, well-established research environment.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
