Job Description

Position Overview and Responsibilities
The MaoDraayer Lab is a translational immunology laboratory focused on understanding the pathogenesis prediction prevention and precision treatment of immunemediated diseases to improve patients lives. We have large complex experimental datasets partnered with detailed clinical data to help better understand disease and improve treatments.

Join our dynamic team in a wellfunded research group in an autoimmune disease center of excellence. We are focused on identifying and characterizing mechanisms of autoimmune disease onset and flare including regulatory immune mechanisms. We are seeking Postdocs with a strong immunology background to be part of the team working to understand mechanisms of autoimmune disease in humans by leveraging the extensive resources and data available from our well characterized clinical cohorts. The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic team with synergistic skills and experiences and will be given the opportunity to develop projects that complement the overall directions of the group. The team utilizes high throughput bimolecular assays deep cellular phenotyping single cell genomic proteomic chromatin conformation/epigenetic and computational and bioinformatics analyses through resources in our Human Phenotyping and Translational Informatics Cores. We also have access to high performance computational resources both inhouse and through cloudbased resources. Trainees have the opportunity to participate in large national NIHfunded consortia.

This is a mentored position for Postdoctoral training. Individuals at this level plan design and conduct research experiments; manage research projects; prepare reports and papers for publication presentation and future research; contribute to grant writing and are encouraged to write applications for fellowships; learn the complexities of research lab management and participate in various lab activities.
