Postdoctoral Fellow

Our lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms that precisely regulate gene expression in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, with a particular interest in cytokine-mediated Central Nervous System inflammation. We use cutting-edge genomic approaches to address three fundamental questions:

1. How do cytokines drive the progression of neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases in the CNS?
2. How do innate lymphoid cells integrate neuronal signals to support immune adaptation in bodily tissues?
3. How does the microbiome and microbial metabolites regulate lymphocyte differentiation and function during aging-related disorders?

Successful candidate will use '-omic' approaches to investigate immuno-regulation and identify potential therapeutic targets. Postdocs will have the opportunity to lead and co-lead projects, design experiments for generating high-dimensional data (such as single cell transcriptomes and epigenomes, spatial transcriptomes, and TCR/BCR repertoires), and work closely with both collaborators and our lab members. Additionally, candidates will receive hands-on training in bioinformatics and have opportunities to mentor postbacs and/or summer students.

Salary is commensurate with research experience and accomplishments. Please visit our website to review our select publications.
