Join the Team

To postdocs and graduating PhD candidates,

Are you a highly motivated and ambitious researcher with a strong background in T cell biology? Do you have a passion for studying the immune system and its role in cancer and autoimmunity? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

The T cell biology lab at Columbia University is currently seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our team. Our focus is on the study of immune checkpoint inhibitors and their potential use in anti-cancer therapy, as well as the role of T cells in autoimmunity.

As a postdoctoral researcher in our lab, you will have the opportunity to work closely with our team of experienced researchers and contribute to the development of new drugs and therapies. You will also have the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research and study the fundamental mechanisms underlying T cell biology.

We are seeking candidates with a Ph.D. in immunology, biology, or a related field, as well as experience in T cell biology and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, as well as the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

If you are interested in joining our dynamic and collaborative research environment, please submit your CV and a cover letter outlining your research experience and interests to [email address]. We look forward to reviewing your application.

For postdoc opportunity, email: cctimor@cumc.columbia.edu

Faculty

Adam Mor, MD, PhD
- Principal Investigator
Adam Mor is a board-certified rheumatologist and a highly trained and experienced molecular immunologist currently directing the Mor lab at Columbia University.
Robert Winchester, MD
- Professor of Medicine, Pathology and Cell Biology
Syed Bukhari, PhD
- Associate Research Scientist
Syed Bukhari earned his PhD degree from the University of Kashmir, focusing on cancer proteomics. Throughout his postdoctoral training, he engineered novel tumor specific antibodies to control cellular functions and to uncover signaling pathways related to cancer metabolism. In the Mor Lab, and using single cell RNA sequencing approaches, he studies the cellular and molecular basis of immune related adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Syed is an avid cyclist.
Shalom Lerrer, PhD
- Associate Research Scientist
Shalom Lerrer received his PhD degree from Tel Aviv University where he studied the role of inflammatory mediators in breast cancer pathogenesis. Shalom has developed multiple robust cellular assays to study immune checkpoint inhibitor functions, and currently he is using these methods to study novel mechanisms regulating PD-1 signaling and functions. In his free time, he enjoys reading contemporary literature, cooking, and exploring historic sites in NJ.
Ruijiang (Ray) Song, PhD
- Associate Research Scientist
- Head of Antibody Engineering Program
Yevgeniya (Jenny) Gartshteyn, MD
- Assistant Professor of Medicine
Jenny Gartshteyn is a board-certified rheumatologist and a translational scientist at Columbia University Medical Center. Her research interests include immunopathology and mechanisms of autoimmune diseases. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, skiing, theater and modern art.
Matthieu Paiola, PhD
- Associate Research Scientist
Nacim Kerrouche, MD, PhD
- Postdoctoral Research Scientist
