Job Description
Role Overview

The Hemmers Lab is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate with a background in immunology, single cell computational biology, or molecular biology to join a dynamic and collaborative research team focused on understanding how developmental cues during early perinatal life shape the T cell compartment in adult animals.

What You Will Do

Conduct research investigating how developmental cues during early perinatal life shape the adult T cell compartment, utilize genetic timestamping approaches to study neonatal-derived T cell populations, perform and analyze experiments using high-parameter spectral flow cytometry, conduct single-cell transcriptomic analyses and imaging-based studies, and work with mouse models to evaluate the contribution of neonatal-derived T cells to immunity in adulthood.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Ideal candidates will be self-driven, creative, and highly collaborative, with strong laboratory and analytical skills, and an interest and/or experience working with mouse models.

Requirements

  • Ph.D. in Immunology, Molecular Biology, Computational Biology, or a related scientific discipline
  • Strong laboratory and analytical skills
  • Background in immunology, single cell computational biology, or molecular biology
  • Interest and/or experience working with mouse models
