Immunology Post-doctoral Position: Transcriptional regulation/Chromatin remodeling in lymphopoiesis and functional regulation

Post-doctoral position in the field of transcriptional regulation/chromatin remodeling in the immune system is available as of September. Our research areas include the molecular mechanisms of B lymphopoiesis (Nat. Immunol. 7: 819), memory B/plasma cell development, and functional regulation of effector and memory T cells (Nat. Immunol 2:705). The research will involve gene-targeting, in vivo and in vitro experimental models to explore functions of novel transcription factors, and use long-range chromatin structure analysis and BAC recombineering to carry out studies on transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling.

The successful candidate will have recently acquired a Ph.D. and/or M.D. preferably in immunology with technique expertise in flow cytometry, molecular biology and/or biochemistry. Candidates should be self-motivated and career oriented. Strong organizational and oral/written communication skills are desirable.

To apply, please submit your curriculum vitae and cover letter including names and contact information of three references to Dr. Hui Hu at hhu@wistar.org.
