Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Lung Immunobiology

UCLA Pulmonary & Critical Care
Los Angeles, California, US
Full-time
We are sorry. The job offer you are looking for is no longer available.

A postdoctoral research position is available in the lab of Dr. Hrish Kulkarni, a NIH-funded laboratory in the UCLA Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine.

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate how local innate immune responses, such as the complement system, modulates the severity of bacterial pneumonia.

The overarching goal of our research program is to determine how epithelial cell-derived proteins can be harnessed to mitigate the risk of acute lung injury in various settings, to ultimately reduce the burden of end-stage lung disease.

Make sure to apply with all the requested information, as laid out in the job overview below.

We utilize state-of-the-art technical modalities including conditional knockout mouse models, primary epithelial cell lines, flow cytometry, ELISA, protein and DNA-based molecular biology, biochemistry, cell / tissue culture, fluorescence and confocal microscopy, and DNA / RNA sequencing.

A key component of our research program involves utilizing human lung specimens.

Minimum Requirements

Eligible candidates must have a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences. The project involves both in vitro and in vivo experimentation at the intersection of immunology, cell biology, molecular biology, and microbiology.

Experience with standard cell biology and immunology techniques, as well as murine in vivo models, is required. Experience in molecular biology, structural biology, or bioinformatics is encouraged but is not mandatory.

Application Process

Please email your CV, names of three references, and a personal statement clarifying the purpose of pursuing a postdoctoral position to [email protected].
