Fred Hutch Cancer Center's Translational Data Science Integrated Research Center (TDS IRC) and Immunotherapy IRC invite PhD (or equivalent) students and recent graduates planning to begin a postdoctoral position by November 2027 to apply for Postdoc Recruitment in Immunology, Medicine and Data science (PRIMeD) at Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington. 

Date: October 8-9, 2026

Location: Fred Hutch Cancer Center, Seattle, WA

Hosts: Fred Hutch Immunotherapy IRC, Translational Data Science IRC

This fully funded, three-day visit offers prospective postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to explore the breadth of research in immunotherapy and data science at Fred Hutch Cancer Center.

Participants will have the opportunity to share their research, learn about faculty research programs, network with Fred Hutch postdocs and faculty, and learn about the postdoctoral training environment and the vast resources available at Fred Hutch. This program is designed for students interested in pursuing a postdoctoral fellowship in immunology and/or data science. Students either currently in immunology or data science, or interested in switching fields, are equally encouraged to apply.

Students accepted into the program will give an oral presentation of their work, hear from Fred Hutch scientists and have opportunities to engage in scientific discussions with Fred Hutch faculty and trainees. Following the symposium, participants can apply for open positions in labs of interest, and those hired will have the opportunity to apply for postdoctoral fellowships through the IRCs.
