Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Immunology and Allergy Diseases
Organization
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
Scientific focus area
Cell Biology, Immunology
Our lab seeks a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to explore the mechanisms of airway allergic inflammation using mouse models. We focus on how allergens, environmental exposures, genetics, and microbiota influence innate immune cells (e.g., monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells) and drive Th2 cell responses that sustain allergic inflammation. The candidate will join a dynamic team with access to cutting-edge facilities, advancing our understanding of allergy and immune regulation.
About the position
- Conduct independent research on immunology and allergy disease -Design and perform experiments, analyze data, and interpret results
- Collaborate with other lab members and external collaborators
- Prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals
- Present research findings at conferences and seminars

Postdoctoral position at the NCI
A postdoctoral position is available at the DNA Replication Group (PI: Mirit I. Aladjem, Ph.D.), a part of the NCI’s Developmental Therapeutics Branch in Bethesda, Maryland. Our group aims to understand cellular networks that signal to and from chromatin to modulate DNA replication. Since many regulatory feedback pathways are deregulated in cancer cells, the results of these studies will help our understanding of cancer biology and the mechanisms underlying therapeutic strategies.

Staff Scientist
A Staff Scientist Position is open in the Synaptic Function Section at the NINDS, NIH. The selected candidate will lead multidisciplinary investigations into reprogramming mitochondrial trafficking and energy metabolism. These studies will leverage advanced imaging of living neurons derived from diseased mouse models and human iPSCs to elucidate mechanisms governing mitochondria positioning and energy metabolism, and the brain’s adaptative responses to dynamic energy stress.
