We are recruiting postdoctoral research scholars to our lung biology program in the Department of Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine at Washington University. We study mechanistic pathways of epithelial-innate immune communication at the respiratory mucosal interface with a particular interest in non-classical cytokine secretion and exosome biology.
Qualified applicants will be newly minted PhDs with experience in molecular and cell biology methods (including molecular cloning, immunoprecipitation, SDS-PAGE, western blot, protein analytical methods, tissue culture and microscopy). Individuals with expertise and interest in protein expression/purification, structural biology, and extracellular vesicle isolation, characterization and in vivo studies are particularly encouraged to apply.
