The Maehr Laboratory at UMass Medical School is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research fellow to investigate the molecular basis of immune syndromes using pluripotent stem cell-based disease models.
Envisioned projects will utilize pluripotent stem cell differentiation approaches, together with in vitro and in vivo assays of thymus and T cell development, to decipher the molecular underpinnings of human immune syndromes such as thymus dysfunction-based autoimmunity and immunodeficiency. In addition to stem cell differentiation and immunological assays, the collaborative project will apply technologies such as CRIPSR and single cell RNA-sequencing as well as computational approaches.
The dynamic and collaborative Maehr lab is embedded in the vibrant and cutting edge research environment of the Program in Molecular Medicine and Diabetes Center Of Excellence at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Please visit our webpage for more information: http://maehrlab.net/
Candidates should possess a Ph.D. and have a strong background in immunology and/or developmental biology. Experience with immunological assays, stem cell differentiation, bioengineering and/or next generation sequencing assays is desirable. Excellent communication, writing, and collaboration skills are essential.
Interested candidates should email a cover letter, CV, and 3 references to Dr. René Maehr, Associate Professor of Molecular Medicine, UMass Medical School (rene.maehr@umassmed.edu).
