We seek a talented individual with strong drive and excellent communication skills to join our team in beautiful Philadelphia!

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will have the unique opportunity to work with primary human tissues and collaborate with leading experts in the field.

About the Role:

Develop human organoid systems to investigate how antigen-specific Tfh cells and Tph cells impact the breadth and specificity of B cell responses. Investigate how T cell cross-reactivity to commensal bacteria influences B cell responses after vaccination and in autoimmune diseases. Perform single-cell RNA, ATAC, TCR, BCR library preparation, data processing, and analyses. Design and generate recombinant class II peptide-MHC multimers and B cell multimers to detect antigen-specific cells of interest. Present at conferences and lead manuscript writing.

Requirements:

Recent Ph.D. in Immunology, Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Computational Biology or related fields. Expertise in immunological assays and flow cytometry.
