Job Description


Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is an independent, nonprofit organization providing adult cancer treatment and groundbreaking research focused on cancer and infectious diseases. Based in Seattle, Fred Hutch is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Washington.

With a track record of global leadership in bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy and COVID-19 vaccines, Fred Hutch has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading cancer, infectious disease and biomedical research centers. Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states.

Fred Hutch is in pursuit of becoming an anti-racist organization. We are committed to ensuring that all candidates hired share our commitment to diversity, anti-racism and inclusion.

The Boonyaratanakornkit Laboratory within the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division is recruiting a post-doctoral fellow with experience in virology, molecular biology, and/or immunology. The lab studies viruses that afflict vulnerable patients who are at heightened risk for serious complications or death. We study the humoral immune system (B cells and antibodies) using highly sensitive techniques to identify protective responses against viruses. We leverage this information to develop immune-based therapies with the goal of improving the care of vulnerable patients. Current projects in the lab are aimed at studying rare B cells targeting common viruses, like respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus, parainfluenza viruses, coronaviruses, and cytomegalovirus. The lab is engineering antibodies to enhance their ability to prevent and treat viral infections in vulnerable patients.

Our lab is seeking a post-doctoral fellow who is interested in studying humoral immune responses to viral infections and developing drugs that protect against viral infections. We strive to provide a supportive, collegial, diverse, inclusive, fun, and exciting research and training environment.
