A postdoctoral research scientist position is open in the laboratory of Dr. Shane Crotty in the area of viral vaccine immunology. The laboratory studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating CD4 T cell differentiation and functions, particularly follicular helper CD4 T cell regulation of the development of long term antibody and memory B cell responses (Science 2009; Immunity 2011; Annual Review of Immunology 2011; Immunity 2008; J. Virology 2009; Nature 2003). The goal of the laboratory is to elucidate the immunobiology of successful vaccines and protective immune responses and apply those principles/mechanisms to the development of future human vaccines. This is done by direct examination of antigen-specific immune responses and follicular helper CD4 T cells, using cutting edge mouse and human experimental systems. Ideal postdoctoral candidates will have a strong background in immunology with emphasis on cellular and molecular immunology; but expertise in infectious disease research will also be considered. Submit your Curriculum Vitae and three references to: The La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology (LIAI), Attn: Shane Crotty, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Division of Vaccine Discovery. Or email: shane@liai.org.
