Immunology Laboratory Postdoctoral Fellowship
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has a postdoctoral position open in a cutting-edge Immunology Laboratory that focuses on the microglia and macrophage response to traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The candidate will lead studies in the following areas: 1) microglia and monocyte/macrophage transcriptional response to TBI in our murine model of TBI; 2) mechanisms of immune modulating therapy on the anatomic, physiologic, and transcriptional response to TBI; 3) develop and characterize a model of mild TBI (concussion) for the long-term study of microglial gene expression and response to immune modulating therapy. Candidates must be highly self-motivated and self-sufficient with PhD or MD. A strong background in immunology and flow cytometry is a requirement and some background in neuroscience would be preferred. Experience with mouse models is ideal. Experience with RNA sequencing is desired. Competitive salary and benefit package.
Candidates should email cover letter and CV to:Steven J. Schwulst, MD, FACS
