Fellows will be integrated into the strong training programs and robust immunology community across Emory.
Important Skills:
- Previous training and research experience in immunology, virology, or cell biology
- Ability to work independently and as an integral member of a team
- Strong background in multi-parameter flow cytometry and familiarity with murine models of infection are preferred
- Experience with tissue imaging, molecular biology, RNA- and ATAC-Seq, and/or genetic manipulation of cells and mice are desirable, but not required
Qualifications:
Applicants must have a PhD in Immunology or a related discipline in the Biological Sciences with a track record of peer-reviewed publications. Candidates are expected to have excellent oral and written communication skills and be highly motivated. Salary is commensurate with experience according to the NIH postdoctoral stipend scale.
