Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Immunobiology research team. This position focuses on mucosal immunology (Mout) and related areas of study.

About the Role

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will conduct independent and collaborative research in immunobiology, with an emphasis on mucosal immune responses. The role involves designing and executing experiments, analyzing data, and contributing to scientific publications and grant proposals.

Responsibilities

• Design, perform, and interpret experiments in mucosal immunology using advanced techniques (e.g., flow cytometry, single-cell RNA sequencing, microscopy, and animal models).
• Analyze and present research findings at lab meetings, seminars, and national/international conferences.
• Prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals and assist in writing grant proposals.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including clinicians, bioinformaticians, and other researchers.
• Mentor junior lab members, including graduate students and research assistants.
• Maintain detailed laboratory records and ensure compliance with institutional and federal research guidelines.

Requirements

• Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Immunology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, or a related field.
• Strong background in immunology, with preference for experience in mucosal immunology, inflammation, or host-microbe interactions.
• Proficiency in techniques such as multi-parameter flow cytometry, cell culture, ELISA, PCR, Western blotting, and confocal microscopy.
• Experience with animal models (e.g., mouse models of disease) is highly desirable.
• Track record of peer-reviewed publications in relevant scientific journals.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.

Skills

• Advanced knowledge of immunology, particularly mucosal immune responses.
• Hands-on experience with molecular and cellular biology techniques.
• Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and data analysis (e.g., R, Python, or similar) is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities.
• Commitment to scientific rigor and ethical research practices.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package, including health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Access to state-of-the-art research facilities and core resources.
• Opportunities for professional development, including funding for conference travel and workshops.
• Collaborative and supportive research environment with access to leading experts in the field.
• Postdoctoral career development programs and mentorship opportunities.
