Postdoctoral Fellow - Allergy and Immunology Translational Research

The Food Allergy Research Section in the Laboratory of Allergic Diseases, NIAID investigates the genetic and immunologic pathways that lead to the development of food allergy and other allergic conditions. Research projects may involve basic and translational studies using both murine models and patient samples. Current projects are using a multi-omics approach to investigate the role of the microbiome, skin barrier defects, and other early life factors on the development of the neonatal immune system and predisposition for allergic disease. Additional projects aim to understand how specific genetic defects promote the development of allergic diseases.

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in Immunology or a related field, technical expertise in flow cytometry, cell isolation and culture, and publications indicating a record of accomplishment. Candidates with a background in computational biology and experience analyzing multi-omics data sets are especially encouraged to apply.
