Post Doctoral.Post Doctoral.Associate

The Division of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology at the University of Pittsburgh is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to support an NIH-funded R01 investigating the mechanisms of interferonopathy. The successful Candidate will perform functional assays of disease-causing variants in murine models and human cells, including molecular and cellular assays across transfected/transduced cell lines and primary immune cells (PBMCs, macrophages) and murine neuroinflammation and infection models. Responsibilities include CRISPR-based engineering strategies for serial and combinatorial variant knock-in, confocal microscopy and advanced imaging, and murine models of neuroinflammation Candidates should hold a PhD in molecular biology, cell biology, or a related field with demonstrated experience in mammalian cell culture, molecular cloning, and functional cellular assays. Experience with mouse models of inflammation and gene editing of primary cells preferred.

The University of Pittsburgh is an equal opportunity employer / disability / veteran.
