Postdoctoral Positions in Mucosal Immunity and Intestinal Inflammation (Dr. Clara Abraham)
Investigator: Clara Abraham, MD
Mucosal Immunity and Intestinal Inflammation
Yale University, New Haven, CT
POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS are available for research on mucosal immunity, intestinal immune homeostasis/intestinal inflammation, and innate immunity.
The laboratory focuses on understanding mechanisms regulating innate immune responses, host pathogen interactions, and immunological pathways regulating mucosal immunity and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The current position will involve examination of molecular, cellular and biochemical mechanisms regulating innate cells and pattern recognition pathways, in particular in the context of genes implicated in IBD. The ability to incorporate computation approaches to biological questions is also beneficial. Studies incorporate approaches in both primary human immune cells and in vivo mouse intestinal model systems.
Education and experience: Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent degree with a strong background in cellular and molecular immunology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Experience in examination of intestinal tissues, multiparameter flow cytometry, and bioinformatics/computational biology is desired.
Please send curriculum vitae, three names of reference and a one-page summary of research background and interests to Clara Abraham, M.D. ([email protected])
