This position will investigate how estrogen controls pathogenic
autoimmune T-cell responses in multiple sclerosis (MS), a demyelinating
and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. Our current
research aims to elucidate estrogen-dependent regulatory mechanisms
that inhibit EAE and the role of regulatory B-cells in this process.
This position will conduct independent research, contributing to the
writing of manuscripts and grant applications, preparing animal
protocols and progress reports and collaborating with scientific
colleagues from diverse disciplines.
Minimum Qualifications:
- PhD
- Expertise in immunological methods, including an in-depth knowledge
of FACS analysis (minimum 2-5 years experience) as well as cellular and
molecular techniques to evaluate both pathogenic and regulatory cell
types
