Postdoctoral Research Position in Immunology at UCLA

A postdoctoral research position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Elaine F. Reed, in the Department of Pathology, University of California, Los Angeles (https://reedlab.dgsom.ucla.edu). The long-term goal of the research is to develop a detailed molecular map of the cross-talk between the innate and adaptive immune response during viral infection in high risk populations. The postdoctoral researcher will use modern systems immunology approaches including multiparameter immunophenotyping, transcriptome, cytokines and assessment of leukocyte functional status and statistical and computational biology to define altered host: pathogen interactions in COVID-19 and CMV. The successful candidate will devote 30% effort to wet lab work and 70% effort to computational work.

The candidate will benefit from a highly collaborative and diverse team of investigators at UCLA including experts in renal transplantation, infectious disease, immune profiling, biostatistics, and computational immunology at the University of California Los Angeles.

The candidate should be a Ph.D. candidate or recent Ph.D. graduate or M.D./Ph.D. with a strong background in immunology, microbiology, cell, and/or molecular biology. Additionally, the candidate should be proficient in computational statistics with some experience coding in R, Unix, Python and/or MATLAB.
