Job Summary
Koushik Roy Lab
in the Department of Pathology at the University of Utah has an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to investigate the immune response to viral and/or gut infections. A robust B cell response is protective; however, sustained B cell activation can lead to chronic diseases like cancer and/or autoimmunity. The project involves investigating antibody and memory B cell responses to viral and/or gut infections, as well as their links to cancer and autoimmunity. We aim to uncover and comprehend the molecular mechanisms that foster effective immune memory while preventing the development of cancer and/or autoimmunity, which may ultimately lead to the development of a therapeutic strategy for chronic diseases. The ideal candidate will possess the skills or interest in pursuing a career in immunology research, with a focus on immunity to chronic diseases. Required Expertise
Multicolor Flow Cytometry Infection in mice and isolating immune organs Expertise in one of the following fields: viral immunology, mucosal immunology, or cancer immunology This position will provide you with the unique opportunity to drive research projects, employing a cross-disciplinary approach to immunology, genome editing, and omics techniques, as well as work with transgenic mouse models of infections and other chronic diseases. About the Lab and PI
The Roy lab was established in April 2021 at the University of Utah. We aim to understand the mechanisms that control long-lasting protective immune memory and develop a therapeutic approach to treat chronic diseases. Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities Design and conduct mouse experiments to study immune memory in response to infection. Culture immune cells and knock out genes to study the function of a gene in immune memory. Analysis and interpretation of data, as well as writing peer-reviewed publications. Present findings at the lab meeting, collaborative meeting, and conferences. Collaborate with a cross-disciplinary team and mentor junior researchers. Minimum Qualifications and Preferences
PhD awarded within 2 years, Knowledge of antibody and memory B cell responses, Knowledge in molecular immunology or cell signaling pathways. Equal Opportunity Employer
The University of Utah is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer and does not discriminate based upon race, ethnicity, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy-related conditions, genetic information, or protected veteran’s status.
