POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW WANTED!  Innate Immunity and the Gut-Lung Axis

The laboratory of Elizabeth J. Kovacs, PhD, in the Department of Surgery at the University of Colorado Denver is seeking a postdoctoral fellow with a MD, PhD or combined degree in biochemistry, cell biology, immunology, or related field. Postdocs should have research interests in basic and translational research in the area of alcohol and end-organ damage. The ideal candidate will have 0-2 years of postdoctoral training and work on gut-lung axis or other research projects with members of the laboratory, including graduate students, medical students, surgical residents, undergraduates and laboratory technicians. Postdocs will be encouraged to apply for independent funding.

To apply online, see http://www.cu.edu/cu-careers (position #35200)

Postdoctoral Research Positions:

Host-Pathogen Interactions / Inflammation / Immunity

Two postdoctoral research positions are available for highly motivated candidates to investigate inflammation and innate immunity in the skin and mucosal tissues during viral infections and chronic/recurring diseases. Experimental models will include in vitro assays, conventional and organoid cell cultures, and knockout/transgenic mice. The studies aim to: 1) identify novel extra- and intracellular inflammatory and/or viral restriction mechanisms, 2) determine how these processes are regulated to maintain homeostasis, and 3) establish connections to human diseases, including cancer and chronic inflammatory conditions, when the pathways are dysregulated.

Project 1 will focus on viral infections.

Project 2 will examine connections between inflammation and cancer.

Requirements: A recent Ph.D. in biochemistry, cell biology, immunology, microbiology and/or virology. Peer-reviewed publications in the field(s) of immunology, virology and/or signal transduction. Training in molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, signal transduction, cell culture methods, and/or mouse models of disease. Excellent written and oral communication skills in English. Must be willing and able to handle mice and infectious materials.

The positions are available immediately and will remain open until suitable candidates are identified. Applicants should apply early as openings may close early.

The Immunomodulation and Translational Research Program in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO, currently has three open positions: two for postdocs and one for a research scientist. These positions involve participation in federally funded projects that focus on targeted immunomodulation related to autoimmunity, with an emphasis on type 1 diabetes and cancer immunoprevention/immunotherapy. Our team has developed a range of novel immune ligands and demonstrated their therapeutic efficacy in the contexts of type 1 diabetes and cancer. Notably, a biologic named SA-4-1BBL has shown prophylactic efficacy against various tumor types by triggering an immune surveillance mechanism. This discovery is significant as it is the first of its kind and holds considerable translational potential. Applicants with cancer interest will explore the mechanisms underlying the cancer immunoprevention effects of SA-4-1BBL and identify new targetable pathways to develop a universal cancer immunoprevention platform for high-risk individuals.
We also focus on targeted immunomodulation for type 1 diabetes using various biologics and delivery vehicles. We seek candidates with extensive knowledge and practical experience in autoimmunity, cancer immunotherapy, vaccinology, relevant mouse and humanized models. Additionally, candidates should have hands-on experience with immune cell functional assays and flow cytometry. We seek self-motivated, innovative individuals who have ambitious career goals. Our expanding program offers postdocs and research scientists exceptional opportunities to grow and achieve their career objectives. The program is in the NextGen building, which features state-of-the-art facilities and an outstanding research environment fostering collaboration and career development. We offer a competitive salary and benefits.
Columbia, Mo., is known as an ideal college town, combining small-town comforts, community spirit, and low cost of living with big-city culture, activities, and resources. Home to nationally renowned public schools, other colleges, and educational centers, Columbia is packed with restaurants and entertainment venues and hosts over a dozen annual cultural festivals.

To apply, please email your CV, research interests, and names of 3 references to haval.shirwan@health.missouri.edu. For additional information on the program, visit: https://medicine.missouri.edu/faculty/haval-shirwan-phd

Summary:
Motivated postdocs/research scientists are sought to work on federally funded projects developing prophylactic and therapeutic approaches for cancer.

Salaries are competitive and commensurate with experience and expertise.
