Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Neuroimmunology & Mucosal Immunology
The Wang Lab at the Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica (Taiwan), is seeking a highly motivated and creative Postdoctoral Researcher to join our dynamic, collaborative, and supportive research team. We welcome candidates with expertise in immunology, cell biology, and molecular biology, particularly those with a background in neuroimmunology and mucosal immunology.
About the Wang Lab
Established in October 2022, our lab is well-funded by multiple sources, including startup grants, intramural funding, the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS). Our research focuses on a fundamental biological question: how immune homeostasis is maintained at tissue barriers. We investigate how immune cells adapt to environmental factors and acquire regulatory functions to support tissue homeostasis. These studies aim to uncover mechanisms that enable tissue-resident immune cells to prevent inappropriate immune responses, which can lead to autoimmune disorders, allergies, chronic infections, and cancer.
Current Research Interests
- B cell tolerance in the meninges
- Meningeal B cells in neurodegenerative diseases
- Eosinophils and Group 3 innate lymphoid cells in host defense and mucosal immunity
Preferred Qualifications
- Expertise in molecular and cellular techniques, including but not limited to FACS analysis, cell culture, and molecular cloning
- Experience with Confocal imaging and two-photon imaging
- Experience with mouse models of disease and mouse breeding (preferred but not required)
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary based on experience, following the NIH salary scale and Academia Sinica guidelines (starting from USD $61,008/year)
We are looking for highly driven individuals with a strong commitment to pursuing an academic career. If you are passionate about immunology research and eager to work in a cutting-edge and supportive research environment, we encourage you to apply!
