Job
Transcriptional regulation of CD4 T helper and innate lymphoid cell subsets
Organization
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
Scientific focus area
Immunology
A postdoctoral fellow position is available immediately in the Molecular and Cellular Immunoregulation Section (MCIS), Laboratory of Immune System Biology, NIAID. The MCIS aims to address heterogeneity and plasticity of CD4 T helper (Th) and innate lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets regulated by transcription factor complexes.
About the position
Our group utilizes multi-color “reporter”, fate-mapping and conditional knockout murine models as well as RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, single cell technologies and CRISPR/Cas9 screening to study Th and ILC subsets in steady state and in autoimmune, allergic and infectious settings. We are seeking highly motivated and collaborative individuals with a strong publication record, who are capable of independent reasoning and excited about learning new technologies.
