Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Sciensits – Immunology and Inflammatory Microproteins
Core
Discover and mechanistically characterize microproteins that regulate intercellular communication and immune responses to uncover new biology and therapeutic targets for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Required skills
mechanistic experimentation with primary immune cells, functional immune assays (cytokine profiling, immune activation, phenotyping), core molecular and cell biology techniques, analysis of complex molecular datasets, hypothesis generation from correlative findings
Preferred skills
immune signalling and chronic inflammation research, organoid models of human immunity, animal models of chronic inflammation, advanced immune phenotyping (spatial omics, single-cell omics, O-link proteomics, CRISPR screening), extracellular protein and receptor elucidation, immunology drug development
Technologies

Responsibilities
Design and carry out mechanistic studies on microprotein regulation of immune cell activation and inflammation resolution; develop and apply functional immune assays to measure impacts on cytokine networks and cell phenotypes; collaborate to translate large-scale dataset findings into testable biological hypotheses; guide efficacy studies and understand disease biology with clinical partners; prioritize microprotein candidates for inflammatory/autoimmune conditions; lead or co-lead manuscripts and reports
Seniority
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, independent researcher
