Our Ability Jobs

Employer Name: The Rockefeller University

Organization Overview In the immune system,changes in chromatin are associated with,and contribute to,the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into highly diverse immune-cell subpopulations. Cell-type specific programs that drive responses of differentiated immune cells to pathogens differ significantly between B and T lineage cells,as well as between cells of the adaptive and innate immune systems. We study the mechanisms by which pathogens affect the function of chromatin,as well as how they affect long-lasting immune and non-immune cell responses to the environment. Overview We are looking for a Postdoctoral Applicant who is interested in addressing complex biological problems that contribute to cellular and organismal fitness. Our research focuses on understanding how processes such as hormesis and genetic assimilation contribute to the acquisition and maintenance of long-lasting cellular or organismal states, including quiescent states such as diapause or quiescence in memory B or T cells. We strive to address these challenges using modern approaches and welcome individuals who are eager to work with various model organisms, ranging from tardigrades to marmoset embryos. We are seeking a creative, enthusiastic, and skilled individual who is willing to work independently but also collaboratively on challenging problems. Responsibilities The Postdoctoral Associate will lead an independent project and contribute to other ongoing research in the lab. Qualifications Requirements: PhD degree in Immunology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, or Biochemistry is required. Thorough working knowledge of Molecular Biology, Genetics, or Biochemistry Experience in several molecular techniques ranging from FACS to ChlP-seq The candidate should be scientifically motivated, detail-oriented, capable of independently conceiving, conducting and critically analyzing their own research Consistent track record of academic accomplishments (e.g., peer-reviewed publications and/or patents) Effective written and oral communication skills The Rockefeller University does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity), national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, retaliation, parental status, military service or other non-merit factor.
