Laboratory of Immune System Biology (LISB)

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the largest institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), conducts and supports a global program of research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases.

The Computational Systems Biology Section in the Laboratory of Immune System Biology (LISB), NIAID, seeks candidates for a quantitative experimental biology postdoctoral fellowship position. Located on the NIH main campus in Bethesda, Maryland, this fully funded position will allow the successful candidate to work in a highly collaborative interdisciplinary environment as part of a team of experimentalists and computational modelers.

This position will focus on using 3D high-resolution microscopy techniques (spinning disk confocal and others) to acquire dynamic images (movie image stacks) as a basis for spatially resolved computational models of cellular processes, such as chemotaxis and contact-mediated cell activation. The goal of the work will be to analyze how inhomogeneous and dynamic spatial distributions of signaling molecules such as immune receptors, receptors for adhesion, and receptors for sensing chemoattractants shape polarized cellular responses.

The laboratory has developed unique computational modeling techniques that ideally complement the experimental work.

This position will offer interested candidates the opportunity to acquire a well-rounded, interdisciplinary skill set by combining experimental work with training in computational modeling.

Qualifications

Required

Ph.D. in cell biology or a similar field
Experience with single-cell microscopy
Ability and desire to work in a collaborative environment
Interest in quantitative biology approaches
Good communication skills
