Recruitment Announcement for Talents of the Research Group on Immune Regulation and Tumor Immunotherapy, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Immunity and Metabolism, Xuzhou Medical University
[Principal Investigator of the Research Group]
Professor Yan Juming, a Distinguished Professor of Jiangsu Province (with special funding), is a Ph.D. supervisor. He obtained his doctorate degree from the University of Queensland in Australia (ranked 36th in the world university rankings) and has long been deeply engaged in the fields of immune regulation and tumor immunotherapy. The team focuses on deciphering the mechanisms of tumor immune escape, exploring the mechanisms of immune metabolic regulation in liver diseases, and innovating immunotherapy strategies. It has made breakthrough progress in the discovery of immune checkpoint molecules and the research and development of monoclonal antibody drugs. As the first author or corresponding author, Professor Yan has published a series of original achievements in internationally renowned journals such as Cancer Discovery (2020), PNAS (2023), Cancer Immunology Research (2018, 2020), etc. Among them, the research on the regulation of tumor immunity by MAIT cells has received a special review in Science. In total, he has published 27 academic papers, which have been cited more than 1,700 times in total, with an H-index of 18. He has applied for 7 invention patents as the first inventor. He has presided over 8 scientific research projects at the national, provincial, and university levels. He is a member of the Chinese Immunological Society, Deputy Director of the Youth Working Committee of the Jiangsu Immunological Society, Council Member of the Jiangsu Immunological Society, Standing Member of the Jiangsu Immunology and Metabolism Professional Committee, Member of the Anti-inflammatory and Immunopharmacology Professional Committee of the Jiangsu Pharmacological Society, and a member of the Australian Immunological Society. He serves as an editorial board member of the journal International Immunopharmacology and an editor of journals such as Military Medical Research.Currently, the research group consists of 3 lecturers, 2 full-time postdoctoral fellows, 1 Ph.D. student, and 9 master's students.
[Focus of Research Directions]
Relying on the multi-omics analysis system of clinical samples and gene-engineered mouse models, the research group focuses on the following aspects:
(1) Analyzing the molecular regulatory network of the interaction between tumor cells, macrophages and dendritic cells within the tumor microenvironment.
(2) Investigating the molecular mechanisms by which immunosuppressive macrophages regulate the tumor immune response.
(3) Studying the immune metabolic reprogramming mediated by neurotransmitter receptors and its relationship with tumor progression.
(4) Exploring the metabolic regulation of the liver immune microenvironment and the mechanisms underlying disease outcomes.
[Platform Support System]
The laboratory is equipped with a complete scientific research platform: multi-channel flow cytometry analysis and sorting system (BD Aria III), cell and mouse metabolic analysis platform, small animal in vivo imaging and behavior analysis system, laser confocal microscope, molecular biology research platform, a rich variety of transgenic mouse strains, animal disease models, etc.
[Talent Recruitment Plan]
The research group has sufficient research funds. Due to work requirements, the research group on immune regulation and tumor immunotherapy recruits postdoctoral fellows and research assistants with a research background in immunology, cell biology, neurobiology, tumor molecular biology, and biochemistry all year round, both at home and abroad.

II. Treatment
Postdoctoral Fellows:
1. Postdoctoral fellows enjoy an annual salary (Type A: 300,000 yuan, Type B: 240,000 yuan, pre-tax, including the individual's contribution to the five social insurances and one housing fund), and an additional monthly living allowance of no less than 2,000 yuan will be provided.
2. Assist in applying for the Jiangsu Province Outstanding Postdoctoral Program, and individuals can receive an additional personal living subsidy of 250,000 yuan.
(For details, please refer to https://jshrss.jiangsu.gov.cn/art/2025/2/17/art_77278_11493933.html)
3. The university provides a free postdoctoral apartment (60 square meters, one-bedroom, one-living-room, one-kitchen and one-bathroom, equipped with furniture and electrical appliances, ready to move in with just personal belongings).
4. After the excellent postdoctoral fellows complete their postdoctoral work and meet the talent introduction requirements of our university, they will be given priority in employment and enjoy the settlement allowance, scientific research startup funds, salary, social security and other benefits corresponding to the relevant categories of talent introduction.
5. For excellent postdoctoral fellows who meet the requirements of an associate professor at Xuzhou Medical University after completing their postdoctoral work, they can directly apply for the title of associate professor.
6. According to the postdoctoral fellow's research background, discuss with the supervisor to select a research topic that is in line with the background and has great potential. The research group will fully support the postdoctoral fellow in publishing achievements in high-level journals on the Nature Index.
Research Assistant
The remuneration of the research assistant will be determined based on their scientific research capabilities, and the specific details will be discussed during an in-person interview. Those who have the plan to pursue a Ph.D. degree within this research group will be given priority consideration.
[Solemn Commitment] All terms of treatment will be strictly fulfilled to ensure that policies are implemented without any time lag and benefits are delivered in full. We aim to create a worry-free development environment for scientific research talents.
Application Method:
