A postdoctoral level position is available in the group of Dr. Remi Creusot at the Columbia Center for Translational Immunology (CCTI) to participate in research investigating the pathophysiology and therapy of autoimmune diabetes. The research will focus on tolerogenic antigen-presenting cells in both mice and humans, and in normal and autoimmune environments.

The CCTI is a multidisciplinary research center with affiliations with many departments and other research centers within Columbia University Medical Center, established to promote horizontal translation of applied immunology between different disciplines and to advance immunology from the bench to the clinic. The lab is also affiliated with the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center.

In addition, the successful candidate will demonstrate creativity, strong work ethics, motivation and ability to work in a collaborative yet competitive environment, as well as excellent written and verbal communication skills. Familiarity with flow cytometry and in vitro immunoassays, animal procedures, gene expression analysis and isolation / culture of immune cells are highly desirable. In addition, experience with molecular cloning will be favorably considered. The position is available to be filled immediately.

Applicants should send a full CV, a one-page cover letter highlighting research interests and career plans, as well as the name and contact details of 3-4 references directly to the Principal Investigator: r.creusot@columbia.edu.
