Full-Time/Regular Our laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral associate focused on defining the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which bacterial infections drive lymphatic vessel dysfunction and lymphedema progression. The successful candidate will contribute to a multidisciplinary project employing the following methods:
- Characterization of molecular and cellular perturbations caused by S. aureus strains using single-cell transcriptomics and lineage tracing in murine models of cutaneous infection and lymphatic vessel dysfunction.
- Delineation of infection-associated signaling cascades and testing the efficacy of pharmacological agents to restore contractile function of lymphatic vessels.
- Evaluation of the impact of S. aureus toxins on lymphatic vessel dynamics through high-resolution functional imaging.
- Investigation of targeted inhibition of S. aureus toxins on lymphatic function and host antimicrobial immunity in vivo to determine protective potential against recurrent infections.
- Design and execution of murine infection models and assessment of lymphatic vessel function.
- Performance of single-cell RNA sequencing, lineage tracing, and high-resolution calcium imaging experiments.
- Analysis and interpretation of transcriptomic, imaging, and functional data.
- Testing pharmacological interventions and bacterial toxin inhibitors in vivo.
- Collaboration with clinical and translational research teams.
- Co-authoring manuscripts, presenting findings at scientific conferences, and contributing to grant preparation.
- Mentoring graduate students and research assistants.
- Participating in laboratory meetings, journal clubs, and institutional seminars.
- Contributing to manuscript and grant writing efforts.
Salary: $70K Required Skills We seek candidates with expertise in vascular biology, immunology, microbiology, or related fields. Strong background in one or more of the following areas is required:
- Experience with murine infection models, particularly cutaneous or soft tissue infection models.
- Proficiency in functional imaging techniques such as intravital imaging
- Familiarity with single-cell RNA sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, or lineage tracing approaches.
- Experience with vessel isolation, ex vivo functional assays, or vascular smooth muscle cell biology.
