Subject: Industry Postdoc Position at Pfizer in Cambridge
Hey Melody!
I am a previous bio graduate PhD student (started in 2015, graduated 2022) who now works at Pfizer. Recently, the research unit I am in just posted three postdoc position in the Inflammation and Immunology Unit spanning fibrosis, human genetics, and neuroinflammation at their Cambridge, MA site. I wanted to share this opportunity with you/the bio program in case anyone was interested.
The Pfizer postdoc program spans multiple other research areas (cancer, vaccines, etc) and in other sites as well (Groton, Andover, La Jolla, and Bothell) but I am not sure when posting for those positions will be available. If there is someone very interested I am happy to chat about it since I did it. (They can reach out to this or my personal email – lbch...@msn.com)

They’ll be looking for someone to start in the next few months and I would suggest anyone who is interested apply ASAP since I have already heard these folks are getting a lot of applications.
Hope all is well with you!
Best,
Laura
