An opportunity for a postdoctoral fellow is available in the laboratory of Dr. Glaivy Batsuli in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Hematology, Oncology, Stem Cell Transplantation, and Regenerative Medicine at Stanford University. The Batsuli laboratory focuses on elucidating mechanisms of the immune response to blood coagulation proteins deficient in patients with inherited bleeding disorders, specifically hemophilia. Our lab seeks to better understand the interaction of factor proteins with antigen presenting cells that result in T cell-dependent antibody development against factor replacement therapies in order to develop therapeutic strategies that evade these immune responses and induce tolerance.
 
The applicant will have the opportunity to lead interdisciplinary research projects and work in a highly collaborative environment committed to team science that will include other collaborating scientists, physicians, postdocs, technicians, and students. There will be additional opportunities for training incoming students and other trainees.
 
This position is for a highly motivated individual with a background in immunology and wet lab experience. The successful candidate will conduct projects focused on evaluating T cell responses in factor VIII immunity. This work will consist wet lab, mice, and translational research experiments involving patient samples. We utilize biochemical assays (ELISA, clotting assay, gel electrophoresis, surface plasmon resonance), protein production & purification, mammalian cell lines, mouse transplantation & adoptive transfer experiments, FACS/flow cytometry, and single cell transcriptomics among other assays.

Required Qualifications: 

• This position is for an individual with a PhD in immunology, molecular biology, biology, or biochemistry. The candidate should have some expertise in immunology.
• Experience in animal handling is strongly preferred as this is a requirement of the position in addition to frequently used laboratory techniques: cell culture, ELISA, and FACS/flow cytometry.
• The candidate is expected to work independently and as part of a team.
• Self-initiative and motivation, excellent communication, teamwork, data processing, written and oral presentation and problem-solving skills are desired.
• English proficiency is required.

Required Application Materials: 

• Cover letter including statement of interest, research experience, and career goals
• Curriculum vitae
• Contact information for 3 recent references
