Position

Postdoctoral Fellow Molecular Immunology / Signal Transduction

Location

New York City, US New York

Date Posted

Aug 21 2007

Description

A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Pathology at New York University (NYU) to study the role and regulation of calcium signals and calcium channels in cells of the immune system. Experimental models focus on genetically modified mice and cells derived from these mice, especially T cells. Research interests include the molecular mechanisms regulating calcium signals in cells of the immune system and the role of calcium signals for immune processes like development and activation of T cells in vitro and in vivo in health and disease. For more information see Feske 2006 Nature 441:179-85, Prakriya 2006 Nature 443:230-3, Feske 2007 Nature Reviews Immunology [Aug 17, Adv. Online publication] and http://www.med.nyu.edu/people/feskes01.html

Requirements: Highly motivated PhD, MD/PhD or MD with a solid background in molecular biology and immunology. Expertise in transgenesis and immunological analysis of mouse model systems is desired. Experience in microscopy (fluorescence, TIRF) and time-lapse imaging techniques would be an asset but is not required. Candidates should have a good command of the English language and should be available for an interview.

The laboratory is located in the Smilow Research Center, a new 13-story building with excellent research facilities on the NYU Medical School Campus located in mid-town Manhattan. http://www.med.nyu.edu/smilowcenter/
