What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Researcher - Immunology position at Louisiana State University?
A postdoc position is available in my laboratory at Pennington Biomedical Research Center / Louisiana State University. Research in my group focuses on understanding how early life exposures (i.e., allergens, pollutants, and respiratory viruses) lead to predisposition, development of, or exacerbation of respiratory disease in adults. Our work is highly translational and collaborative with immediate relevance to human diseases, such as shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome. We leverage samples from critically ill children to identify molecular targets to investigate in vitro and in vivo. Open projects involve investigating the mechanisms of neutrophils in the development of humoral immune responses .
We are seeking self-motivated applicants with competence in standard immunology and molecular biology techniques and human cell culture. As a core member of the lab, you will be expected to work at the bench, interpret data, and troubleshoot experiments independently.
Due to the translational aspect of our research, a drive for an independent investigation, creativity, and excellent communication skills are required.
Interested applicants, please send your CV/biosketch, brief statement of research interest/experience and contact information for 2 or 3 references to me at stephaniacormier@lsu.edu.
Salary : $55,000 - $70,000
