Opportunities for creative and motivated postdocs to participate in cutting-edge exciting research projects that investigate leukocyte trafficking, mucosal wound repair, epithelial barrier regulation during inflammatory diseases in the intestine. Our research employs state-of-the-art immunology, molecular/cell biology, imaging, and multi-omics (proteomics, single-cell sequencing including spatial transcriptomics) approaches. Experimental approaches also utilize a variety of genetically modified mice, stem cell derived organoids, and human tissues.
Highly motivated and organized candidates who have recently obtained a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or equivalent) with excellent scientific writing and strong verbal communication skills are encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will become part of a well-funded, highly productive, and collaborative team of multi-national investigators in a modern and well-equipped laboratory space. Within the group, there is a strong commitment to mentorship and an excellent record of success for both academic and industrial-career track-oriented individuals. Successful candidates will be expected to design and execute experiments, publish results in peer-reviewed journals and participate in preparation and submission of research grant applications under the guidance of two principal established investigators with extensive expertise in mucosal immunology and epithelial biology. Preference will be given to individuals with proficiency in innate and/or adaptive immune cell biology and epithelial biology with expertise in flow cytometry, RNA seq, and mouse models of inflammation.
