Project Description
The successful applicant will be involved in research activities and learn laboratory techniques and methods. The successful applicant will also participate in lab meetings and other research activities and learn about relevant science associated with immunology and human disease. In addition to regular candidates focused on laboratory work, we would consider applicants with math/computer skills for alternate projects that could synergy with the biology/immunology in the laboratory.
The laboratory is focused on basic and translational approaches for the immune-based therapies for cancer and human disease including infectious disease. Interested students can be involved in a wide range of activities including helping ongoing research projects and for successful/motivated students, there is an opportunity for independent research efforts. Student participation in lab meetings, science meetings, and involvement in publications is encouraged. In addition to science-focused efforts, separate paid opportunities are available for students that will help in lab organizational efforts such as maintenance and upkeep of reagents and help with ordering and administrative efforts.

Additional Information
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and applicants could start in the spring, summer, or fall. In addition to working for academic credit or volunteer positions, we will consider applicants for a paid position. If you are interested in academic credit, please indicate what program you are enrolled in that accepts academic credit. Please indicate in your cover letter the type of position you are seeking (paid, volunteer, and/or academic credit, or other) and an estimate of the time commitment you would like to contribute.
Required Applicant Information
Please provide your resume and also a cover letter outlining your career goals. Please include your GPA in your cover letter. Please submit your documents as an attached Word or PDF file to“cancerimmunologyjobs@osumc.edu”. In your subject header and at the end of your email text, please include “OSUPXB33” for use as a search term.
Required or Desired Skills
There are no specific requirements, but we are looking for smart, motivated, and reliable individuals. While much of our effort is focused on biology-or immunology- related projects, we also have bio-informatic and computer-related projects and also the possibility of helping with administrative work.
