1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We have recently completed groundbreaking clinical studies of CD19- and/or CD22-targeted CAR T cell therapies (Spiegel et al. Nat Med 2021, Frank et al. Lancet 2024). We have generated a wealth of data from these and other patients that revealed mechanisms of resistance to CAR T cell immunotherapies (Good et al. Nat Med 2022; In Preparation). We now seek to model suppression resulting from T regulatory (Treg) cells by conducting genetic screens to overcome this suppression and to enhance CAR T cells for lymphoma. On the other hand, we also seek to apply the lessons learned from cancer cell therapies to develop advanced T cell immunotherapies for autoimmune diseases.

7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Department of Geophysics at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability has established the Thompson Postdoctoral Fellowship to be awarded to a candidate preferably within two years of receipt of the Ph.D. A candidate applying before completing their Ph.D. must have been awarded their degree before taking up the Fellowship. Our fellowship is open to applicants (whatever the discipline of their Ph.D.) in any area of geophysics, including new areas of research that cross classical disciplinary boundaries. Our department studies the surface and interiors of the Earth, Moon, and planets through laboratory experiments, computational and theoretical modeling, remote imaging, and direct observation. Our research has both fundamental and applied elements.

9. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Dr. Ryann Fame’s lab (famelab.stanford.edu) in the Department of Neurosurgery is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral fellow to an NIH-funded project. Dr. Fame’s research program encompasses the early neural stem cell niche, neural tube closure, CSF, metabolism, and cortical neuronal development. We are dedicated to broad collaboration focused on translating an understanding of neurodevelopment and CSF biology into regenerative strategies. Our research has important implications for neurodevelopmental disorders including neural tube closure, hydrocephalus, and seizure disorder. We use human samples collected by our clinical colleagues from patients, mouse models, primary explants, and organoid cultures.
