POSTDOC POSITION IN MUCOSAL IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH

Universität Zürich

Zürich, Zurich · Temporary

The Section of Immunology (VSF) is interested in understanding how yeasts living on skin and mucosal tissues of humans and animals modulate the balance between health and disease. From our research we have learned how these commensal yeasts interact with the immune system to strengthen the defences at the body surfaces, which in turn ensure that the yeasts remain under control and do not cause disease. Your responsibilities The Leibundgut-lab at the University of Zurich wishes to recruit a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that orchestrate homeostatic immunity in mucosal tissues. The successful candidate will lead a project focused on T cell responses against commensal fungi and delineate the mechanisms underlying protective Th17 immune induction and maintenance in the oral mucosa using murine models of persistent Candida albicans colonization. This position offers substantial scientific independence and opportunities to develop original research directions within a collaborative and well-supported environment. Your profile Applicants will possess a PhD in immunology or a related field, a strong background in mucosal/ba

Requisitos

PhD in immunology or a related field, a strong background in mucosal/barrier immunology and T cell biology, and hands-on experience in high-parameter flow cytometry and in vivo models. Experience in advanced imaging and/or bioinformatics are desirable. Enjoy working in an interdisciplinary environment at the interface of immunology and microbiology, show initiative in driving projects forward, and think “outside of the box”. Contribute to the process of securing funds and provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group.
