A postdoctoral research fellow is needed to lead an investigation into the role of the tumor suppressor LKB1 in regulating B cell quiescence and germinal center formation. Recent findings in the lab suggest that this process is mediated by NF-κB signaling, and we are looking for highly motivated candidates to explore this interesting topic with implications for humoral immunity and malignant transformation.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in Molecular Biology/Immunology/Cell Biology or equivalent. Also, familiarity with mouse models, flow cytometry, ELISA, western blotting and other molecular immunological assays is required. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in immunology and cell signaling, and experience in B cell biology is desirable. As the Teitell laboratory has several ongoing project areas, applicants should be self-starting and independent with the ability to help design and carry out the project aims, in addition to being proactive in seeking advice within and outside the lab and in helping to establish and work with collaborators.
Duties and Responsibilities:
• Designing and implementing projects
• Documentation and analysis of experimental results
• Preparation of data for publications and/or presentation
• Writing research grant/contract applications for funding of research projects

A postdoctoral position is available for developing and applying new approaches in cell engineering and response profiling. Current approaches include a photothermal nanoblade (see NanoLetters 12:5669-5672, 2012; PNAS 108: 12095-12100, 2011; Analytical Chemistry 83:1321-1327, 2011), a massively parallel version of the nanoblade (see Nature Methods 12:439-444. 2015), and a live cell interferometer (LCI) (see Nature Methods 11: 1221-1228, 2014; PLoS One Dec 22;9(12):e1157262014; Biophysical Journal 105:593-601, 2013; PLoS One 8(7):e689162013; Biophysical Journal 101:1025-1031, 2011; ACS Nano 2:841-846, 2008). The position entails strong analytical approaches, interdisciplinary collaborations, fundamental understanding in cell and molecular biology, general understanding of engineering principles, excellent communications skills, and a wide variety of techniques, technique development, and applications to generate the newest state of the art approaches in basic and translational biology.
