Job Description
 

The immuno-oncology group is looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral scientist to pursue cutting-edge discovery at the intersection of immunology and cancer biology. The successful candidate will initiate and execute an independent research project to investigate immunosuppression by cancer, the relationship between auto-inflammatory diseases and actionable pathways in cancer, and molecular mechanisms underlying validated pathways in immuno-oncology.

The expectation is that this work will result in novel contributions to our understanding of basic and translational immunology and high-quality publications in top tier scientific journals. The selected candidate will work in a highly collaborative environment at Gilead through a 2-year term, with an option to extend an additional third year.
