A postdoctoral position is available to study B lymphocyte biology and signal transduction in the Rickert laboratory at Sanford Burnham. Current projects are focused on parallel and cooperative signaling by the B cell receptor, integrins and TNF receptor family members. These efforts extend to the elucidation of intracellular signaling networks (e.g. PI3-kinase, NF-κB and PKC pathways) that drive B cell differentiation and transformation. Additional efforts are underway to investigate cellular and molecular interactions regulating the tumor microenvironment in B lymphoma using mouse models and patient samples. To investigate these topics, we employ cutting edge techniques that include, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, mass cytometry (CyTOF), intravital imaging, conditional gene targeting and retrogenics.
We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals with a strong background in immunology and experience working with mouse models, patient samples and/or signal transduction. Applicants must have a Ph.D., but no more than 2 years of postdoctoral training. Positions are available starting immediately and salary commensurate with experience.
To apply:Interested applicants should submit a CV, a brief description of research accomplishments, interests, career goals, as well as contact information (e-mail address and phone number) of three references to robert@sanfordburnham.org.
