Post-doctoral positions are available in the Ribeiro laboratory at Washington University School of Medicine. The Ribeiro lab combines cutting-edge approaches from three disciplines (neuroscience, immunology, and microbiology) to study the crosstalk between sensory neurons, bacteria, and immune cells. The goal of the lab is to understand how bacteria (pathogens and commensals) affect the function of the sensory nervous system and to characterize how neurons influence immunity to ultimately describe innovative approaches to treat human diseases (infectious and non-infectious). Lab members will be able to lead on exciting research projects and will also be encouraged to pursue their own research ideas.
We are looking for candidates with background and strong interests in immunology, neuroscience, and/or microbiology. We aim to build a diverse, inclusive, and multidisciplinary team consisting of creative and highly motivated scientists that collaborate and inspire each other to make a lasting and equitable impact on human health. We strongly encourage applications from women, racial and ethnic minorities, and other individuals who are under-represented in the field. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for this position. Lab members will enjoy competitive benefits and NIH rate salary.
Qualifications:
Qualified candidates are creative and inspired scientists with a PhD in any field related to immunology, neuroscience, or microbiology. Relevant skills for the proposed position are listed below (not a prerequisite for the position).
- Culture of bacteria, mouse primary cells, and cell lines.
- Multiparametric flow cytometry.
- Immunohistochemistry.
- Mouse models of human diseases.
- Microscopy (confocal, light-sheet, and histocytometry).
- Transcriptomics (scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, and spatial transcriptomics).
