Job Description:
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Employment Type
Regular Full-Time
Requisition number
1597
Department
Harrison Lab
Location : City
Seattle
Overview
The Harrison Lab at the Benaroya Research Institute (BRI) in
Seattle, WA is seeking highly-motivated postdoctoral candidates in
the areas of mucosal immunology, specifically T and B cell
responses to commensal microbes.
Benaroya Research Institute is an internationally recognized
medical research institute focused on finding cures for autoimmune
and immune-mediated diseases. We stress excellence in advanced
laboratory experimentation and carefully designed translational
research programs. This offers our scientists the opportunity to
directly impact the lives of people suffering from diseases
including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple
sclerosis, allergies and asthma.
The Harrison Lab (www.harrison-lab.org) works to understand the
mechanisms controlling host-microbe interactions at barrier sites
such as the skin and gastrointestinal tract. We study how our
resident commensal microbes influence the development, education
and function of our immune system. To do so, we utilize a
multi-disciplinary approach combining development and
implementation of tools to track commensal-specific T and B cells
in healthy and inflamed tissues, with single-cell and population
level transcriptomics and epigenetic analyses of T and B cell
differentiation to investigate how the host mounts and regulates
immunity to the microbiome.
Responsibilities
Potential projects in the Harrison Lab will build on exciting
recent findings including:
Qualifications
A recent, or anticipated, PhD, MD or MD/PhD in Immunology or
related field is required. Experience in immunology, molecular
biology and/or bioinformatics-based analysis of
epigenetic/transcriptomic datasets are strongly preferred.
Experience of animal models of inflammation or infection is
preferable but not essential. Interested candidates should send
inquiries, including a 1-page description of their current work,
and a C.V., to oharrison@benaroyaresearch.org.
Compensation
$65,479 - $68,490 per year
