Job Description

The Vlachos Lab and the Spatial Technologies Unit ( are currently looking for talented postdoctoral researchers to lead large-scale spatial/single cell initiatives within our research program as well as to devise novel AI/ML and computational biology methods that will enable us to bring these two novel technologies closer to translation. The researcher will have the ability to leverage some of the most extensive single cell and spatial transcriptomic datasets to date, generated in-house .

Available projects revolve around cancer immunology, novel immunotherapies (CAR-T, bi-specifics, mRNA cancer vaccines), and autoimmunity research. We generate extensive data and employ, develop, utilize cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to generate next-generation insights for novel targets or patient stratification.

The Vlachos lab is also part of large scale initiatives, such as the Human Biomolecular Atlas Project ( HuBMAP - ), enabling the postdoctoral researcher become an integral part of the single cell and spatial community.

Local and International Applicants are encouraged to apply
