About this position
A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the lab of Benjamin Youngblood.
We have recently discovered that T cells can persist beyond organismal lifespan limits. We are recruiting a postdoc to study the hallmarks of aging among chronically stimulated and aged T cells. This individual will help us understand the cell-intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that enable extreme T cell longevity.
Position Responsibilities:
Measure molecular hallmarks of aging in experimental model systems of iterative T cell stimulation.
Draft manuscripts.
Present work at internal and external meetings.
Work directly with collaborators studying aged T cells.
Minimum Education and/or Training:
PhD.
Special Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities:
Mouse handling skills.
Flow cytometry analysis of immune cells.
Standard molecular biology techniques such as PCR and cloning.
