Innate Immunity and Host-Pathogen Interaction- Role of microbiome in Inflammatory Diseases
A postdoctoral position is available at the Infectious and Immunologic Diseases Research Center (IIDRC) at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Department of Biomedical Sciences and the Department of Pediatrics/Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology.
These are NIH-funded positions (including a T32 Immobility Training Grant) to investigate Innate Immunity and Host Pathogen interaction, inflammation and mucosal immunity and vascular biology. We investigate the role of Toll-Like Receptors, inflammasome, IL-17 pathways, autophagy, mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, metabolism and inflammation and the role of the microbiome in various immune and inflammatory mouse models of heart and lung inflammation, including atherosclerosis and vasculitis mouse models (Kawasaki Disease mouse model of vasculitis), myocarditis, acute lung injury and asthma models. This opening post doc postion is for studying immune responses in mice chronic heart remodelings.

Educational Requirements and Experience
Candidates should have a PhD degree in cellular molecular biology or immunology with a strong background and experience in innate immunity mucosal immunology, and experimental mouse models. Experience with microbiome research and/or endothelial cell biology is desired. Independently worked on research projects designed by a mentor (typically the PI) within area of specialization. Acquired thorough technical and theoretical knowledge of research project and objectives during doctoral or postdoctoral appointment. Demonstrated aptitude to perform experimental protocols and procedures in mouse models including detailed data collection, and analysis and operation and maintenance of specialized equipment. Knowledge of safety standards and maintenance of specialized equipment.

The position is NIH funded and for three years and offers a competitive salary based on the candidate’s qualifications. https://www.cedars-sinai.edu/Research/Research-Labs/Arditi-Lab/
