Fellowship positions

A postdoctoral position is available in the Kathleen B. and Mason I. Lowance Center for Human Immunology to study immune- mediated mechanisms of tissue injury in atherosclerosis. Successful candidates will join a vibrant and rapidly expanding center that focuses on both basic science and clinical activities in human immunology.

The NIH-sponsored projects focus on the role of toll-like receptors in vascular inflammation and TNF superfamily molecules in T cell-smooth muscle cell interaction. A Ph.D. in the Life Sciences or M.D. with research experience is required. Training in Immunology, Cell Biology, or Biochemistry/Molecular Biology is desirable.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate’s experience. An attractive benefits package is available.

Interested individuals should submit an application, including a curriculum vitae, summary of past accomplish ments, and the na mes and addresses of three references to:

A postdoctoral position is available to study novel regulatory molecules expressed on human T cells in autoimmune diseases.

The NIH-funded studies address the mechanisms of aberrant gene expression in T cells and the signaling pathways of these receptors. A Ph.D. in the Life Sciences or M.D. with research experience is required. Training in Immunology, Cell Biology, or Biochemistry/Molecular Biology is desirable. Experience in gene regulation or trans membrane signaling is particularly desirable.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate’s experience. An attractive benefits package is available.
