Postdoctoral Scholar-Fixed Term

Position Summary
We are looking to hire Postdoctoral Scholars (Research Associates) to study the molecular mechanisms underlying class switch recombination using advanced single-molecule imaging techniques in living B Cells. Working on this project represent a unique opportunity to learn and apply novel imaging tools to study lymphocyte biology. The project will combine single-molecule imaging of protein and RNA molecules in real time to define how the transcription of specialized switch regions triggers the formation of double strand breaks which results in a large intra-chromosomal deletion to switch the sub-type of antibody produced by B cells. The positions are supported by a new NIH grant, which will provide funding for up to 4 years, based on performance. We have a strong track record of mentoring postdoctoral fellows in the lab, who have successfully competed for fellowships including the K99/R00 award, published impactful first author papers, and have transitioned into inde...
