Postdoctoral Positions in Mucosal Immunology
Departments of Pediatrics and Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
Emory University School of Medicine
Atlanta, GA, USA

Several postdoctoral and positions are available within the Emory Epithelial Pathobiology Unit for a broad range of in vivo and in vitro approaches to study intestinal antigen-presenting cells. Opportunities are available for detailed studies directed at intestinal antigen-presenting cell regulation of pro-and anti-inflammatory mucosal immune responses (see Nat. Immunol. 2007 Oct;8(10):1086-94.).

The successful applicant needs to demonstrate a track record of productivity, independence, creative thinking skills, and motivation. Individuals with experience in mucosal cellular immunology, multicolor flow cytometry and transgenic animal work will be given preference. A doctoral degree (MD, PhD, or equivalent) in addition to satisfactory English communication and interpersonal skills are necessary. The successful applicant will join a large epithelial pathobiology group comprised of six principal investigators with common interests and interconnected research space.

A competitive salary and relocation funds will be provided to appointees. Interested individuals should provide curriculum vitae, statement describing research accomplishments and goals, and the names/contact information of references to Dr. Tim Denning (email: tdennin@emory.edu).
