Research Technician III, Immunobiology (Multiple Positions)

The Department of Immunobiology is seeking highly motivated applicants for the position of Research Technician III in the Kuhns Lab. This challenging position is a collaboration with Dr. Van Doorslaer. It requires a high level of enthusiasm, dedication, and drive for applicants interested in studying the molecular mechanisms underlying T-Cell activation and cell fate decisions using a novel evolutionary immunology-based approach (pubmed search: Kuhns MS).

The Department of Immunobiology at the University of Arizona's College of Medicine is growing into a nationally and internationally recognized research and educational center. We strive to blend the excitement of fundamental immunological research with the relevance of its work. Over the past several decades, Immunobiology has emerged to stand at the forefront of biomedical research, and is likely to remain there for many decades to come. There has never been a more exciting time to work in and study Immunobiology.
