USA: Postdoctoral position in cellular immunology at The University of Chicago

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Balaji Manicassamy in the area of influenza virus-host interactions. The laboratory focuses on understanding the differences in host responses to seasonal influenza virus and highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses, using recombinant influenza GFP reporter viruses and multicolor flow cytometry to follow infection and host responses.
The goal of the lab is to understand the contributions of viral cell tropism to pathogenesis and modulation of host responses. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in immunology with expertise in cellular immunology.
Experience in working with viruses is not required but is preferred. Recent recipients of the Ph.D. are encouraged to apply.
To apply: Please send your application including CV, summary of past accomplishments, research interests and contact information of three references to Balaji Manicassamy, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Microbiology, The University of Chicago, 920 E 58th Street, CLSC 711B, Chicago, IL-60615 or email to bmanicassamy@bsd.uchicago.edu
