Postdoctoral Associate Position in Human/Cancer Immunology – Lee Lab, Yale School of Medicine

Wednesday, January 7, 2026

A postdoctoral associate position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Mark Lee (https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/mark_n_lee/?tab=research(Link is external)) at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut.

The Lee laboratory is a human/cancer immunology research group that builds and applies new functional genomic techniques to profile the antigen specificities of human T cells within patient tumor samples. The lab seeks to uncover new therapeutic targets in cancer by bridging single-cell sequencing with high-throughput immune/cancer cell co-culture screens (PMID: 33483338, PMID: 40799546, PMID: 41415427). The lab has recently developed a new approach to identify tumor antigens, and seeks to greatly expand upon this work, with a particular interest in lung cancer. The lab aims to solve central problems in the field such as: how to identify new targets for cancer immunotherapy, and how to enable precise control of adaptive immune responses through engineered cellular and recombinant therapies. Available projects relate to these efforts, although postdoctoral associates are encouraged to push beyond current efforts in the laboratory. 

Qualified applicants will have a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in immunology, genetics, genomics, molecular biology, cellular biology, or a related discipline. We are particularly interested in candidates with research experience in cellular immunology, human immunology, high-throughput functional genomics, and/or computational biology. Candidates should be highly collegial, hard-working, reliable, and curious, with a strong professional track record and excellent written and oral communication skills. 

Application Process: Interested applicants should contact Dr. Mark Lee, MD, PhD (mark.n.lee@yale.edu) with the Subject line: “Postdoctoral associate position in the Lee lab” with a brief description of their research background and research/career goals; include a copy of their CV. Yale University is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity in its faculty, students, and staff.
