Job Title: POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE - IMMUNOLOGY
Description:

A postdoctoral position is currently available in the Laboratory of B cell Immunoregulation, at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) to work on the role of B cells in the immune response to HIV. The project will specifically involve characterizing B cell immune modulation mechanisms in a variety of knock-in mouse models we have recently engineered to express light and/or heavy chains from the broadly neutralizing HIV antibody 2F5, and using these models to test if/what immunization regimens can elicit the production of broadly neutralizing antibodies. Qualified candidates should have experience in molecular and cellular immunology techniques and extensive experience using flow cytometry. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in characterizing mouse knockout/knockin models and performing mouse breedings and immunizations. A solid background in B cell immunology is also a plus.

To apply:
Highly motivated candidates with a Ph.D. and/or M.D. should send a cover letter, current CV, description of recent research work, and references to:
