Position Description:

 

Dr. Warren J. Leonard’s laboratory in the Immunology Center, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, NIH, DHHS, is recruiting a Research Biologist/Immunologist. The successful candidate would join an exciting team focused on elucidating the biology, signaling, and molecular regulation/epigenetics of the immune system. Work focuses on cytokines, with models ranging from tumor immunology, autoimmunity, allergy, to infectious diseases, with studies ranging from basic molecular mechanisms to human disease. The research work will integrate work with human cells and mouse models coupled to a range of immunological/biochemical/next generation sequencing approaches (e.g., RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, Hi-ChIP).

 

Requirements:

The candidate must have received a Ph.D. and/or an M.D. The ideal candidate will be hard-working, energetic, and excited about science and will perform state-of-the-art experiments and help manage the lab.
