Postdoctoral Position in Immunology and Physiology
Investigate how ion channels and transporters regulate lymphocyte function and immune responses in health and disease.
Best for:Best for recent PhD graduates in immunology or physiology with a strong background in molecular and cell biology.
Overview
The Feske Lab at New York University Grossman School of Medicine is seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to study the regulation of lymphocyte function by ion channels and transporters (ICTs). The successful candidate will investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms governing T and B cell signaling, metabolism, and gene expression, utilizing cutting-edge techniques across immunology and physiology. The researcher is expected to lead independent projects, collaborate effectively, and contribute to a rigorous scientific environment.
What you'll do
- Investigate the mechanisms by which novel ion channels and transporters regulate immune metabolism, signaling, and gene expression in T and B cells.
- Characterize the physiological roles of ion channels and transporters in immune responses to infection, autoimmunity, and antitumor immunity.
- Integrate molecular and cell biology approaches with omics, imaging, bioinformatics, and electrophysiology.
- Utilize animal models of immunity to study health and disease mechanisms.
- Collaborate with lab members and contribute to a dynamic, internationally oriented research program.
