Post-Doctoral Position Available: Krams Lab
Position Overview: We are seeking a highly motivated, creative, and skilled post-doctoral researcher to join our dynamic team in the Transplant Immunology Lab. We are looking for postdocs to work on the following projects: 1) the role of natural killer (NK) cells in alloimmunity and viral infections, and 2) the regulatory functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in modulating immune responses.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and execute experiments using a variety of techniques, including flow cytometry, CyTOF, spatial proteomics, cell culture, molecular biology, and in vivo models.
- Analyze and interpret data, integrating experimental and computational findings. Utilize bioinformatics tools and techniques to analyze high-throughput sequencing data, transcriptomic profiles, and other omics data.
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers to advance our understanding of immune responses in transplantation and viral infections.
- Mentor junior investigators and trainees in experimental techniques and data analysis.
- Present research findings at national and international conferences and contribute to the preparation of manuscripts for publication in high-impact journals, as well as assist in grant writing.
What We Offer:
- A stimulating research environment at the forefront of transplant immunology.
- Opportunities for professional development and mentorship.
- A collaborative and inclusive culture that values diversity and innovation.
- For the right applicant, the potential for transition to a research scientist position based on performance and contributions to the lab.
Required Qualifications:
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. in Immunology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, or a related field.
- Experience in cell culture, cell phenotyping, sequencing, gene editing, and the isolation and characterization of extracellular vesicles is desired.
- Proficiency in bioinformatics tools and programming languages (e.g., R, Python) for data analysis and visualization.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with a proven ability to work collaboratively in a team environment. Experience mentoring trainees is preferred.
- A strong publication record is essential.
Required Application Materials:
