Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in T cell Immunology

Job Number: 82022

Location: Providence, US

Job Description

A Postdoctoral Researcher position is available in the Immunology laboratory of Dr. Lalit Beura at Brown University (https://sites.brown.edu/beuralab/). Our research spans diverse areas, including:

 

·       Unraveling the Fundamental Mechanisms Governing Mucosal Resident Memory T Cell Development and Persistence.

·       Pioneering the Development of Novel In Vitro Systems to Model Immune-Stromal Interactions in Mucosal Tissues.

·       Investigating Signals from Commensal and Pathogenic Microbes Influencing T Cell Differentiation and Function.

 

Lab Focus:

 

The lab delves into the complex cellular dynamics of the female reproductive mucosa under both healthy and diseased conditions, employing rodent models, mammalian cell culture, and adult stem cell-derived organoid systems. We are passionate about women’s health and dedicated to addressing fundamental questions in mucosal immunology.

 

Applicant Requirements:

 

·       PhD or MD/PhD degree in Biology.

·       Several years of hands-on research experience in in vivo and in vitro experimentation, immunology, and/or microbiology (less than 2 years post-PhD).

·       Strong expertise in animal experimentation (mice), preferably in cellular or molecular immunology.

·       Proficiency in advanced immunology techniques (e.g., flow cytometry, immune cell phenotyping), histological techniques (e.g., Cryosectioning, immunohistochemistry, epifluorescence, and confocal microscopy), live imaging, routine molecular biology techniques (e.g., DNA and RNA isolation, quantitative Real-Time PCR), and standard tissue culture techniques.

·       Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal skills.

·       Ability to independently design and conduct experiments and interpret data.

 

Desirable Qualifications:

 

·       Prior experience in organoid models and advanced microscopy techniques

·       Knowledge and experience in memory T cell biology.

·       Hands-on skills in next-generation sequencing analyses, including transcriptional and epigenetic profiling.

·       Background in immunology and microbiome studies.
