Postdoctoral Researchers & Faculty
While some postdoctoral associate positions are posted (see Quick Links below), it may be advisable to contact the faculty directly. A number of competitive intramural NRSA fellowships are available for research training with CIIC researchers in selected areas of research. New in 2021, the Immunoengineering Postdoctoral Training (IMEPOST) Program is an NIAID-funded institutional NRSA program that supports two-year training in the field.
