Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry William Harvey Research Institute Centre for Microvascular Research Post-Doctoral Research Assistant: Post ref: QMUL24344

Centre for Microvascular Research, William Harvey Research Institute, QMUL

About the Role

Applications are invited for a 2-year Postdoctoral Research Associate position in a group led by Dr. Lalit Kumar Dubey. The position requires a Ph.D. in the biological sciences (mucosal immunology, cell biology, stromal biology or related discipline) with strong background in conducting mouse experiments using Cre-Lox system. The successful candidate should have a PhD (or be close to completion) are encouraged to apply. A proven track record of published research and ability to lead a project with excellent research management skills are essential. We are seeking an independent and motivated individual with excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills (both verbal and written). Close collaboration will occur with the other existing groups in the Centre for Microvascular Research and require occasional travel to UK and European institutions.

About You

You are someone with a strong background and expertise in immunology or related discipline with interests in the fields of lymphoid stromal immunology, lymphatics and developmental biology. Significant research laboratory experience with in-vivo mouse models is a must. Previous experience with multiplex flow cytometry, single-cell RNA sequencing, histological techniques and quantitative imaging is desirable. Candidates with prior experience in intestinal helminth infections models, host-pathogen interaction, B cell biology, lymph node stromal analysis are highly encouraged to apply. The postdoctoral fellow will gain research experience in the areas of stromal biology, tissue microenvironment and mucosal immunology using intestinal helminth as a model organism and his/her research findings will be published in high impact journals, along with opportunities to present work at national and international meetings. Candidate will have opportunity to develop novel mice models to identify novel mechanisms that stromal cells employ to regulate immune responses and the govern the crosstalk with other lymphoid stromal and immune cells. We are interested in different organs, including the small intestine, mesenteric lymph node, spleen and lung.
