USA: Postdoctoral Positions in Malaria Immunology at The Feeney Laboratory

The Feeney Laboratory in the Division of Experimental Medicine at UCSF is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral research fellows to design and conduct research related to the cellular immune response to malaria, with a focus on immunoregulatory pathways.
The successful candidate will pursue patient-oriented immunology research based on international collaborations in Uganda. The mission of the Division of Experimental Medicine is to understand the human immune system so that lifesaving therapies and vaccines can be developed to protect against chronic infectious diseases of global importance, and to establish a training environment that fosters patient-oriented research in the U.S. and abroad.
Candidates should possess a Ph.D. and/or M.D. and have a strong background in immunology or infectious disease research. Experience with immunologic techniques including multiparametric flow cytometry and/or molecular biology techniques including RT-PCR is a plus. Excellent communication and writing skills are essential. Foreign candidates will be considered if they are highly proficient in English, are able to travel to San Francisco to interview, and have published in high impact journals in the field.
