Job Description
General Description
An NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Vuong laboratory at The City College of New York (CCNY). The Vuong lab examines the molecular mechanisms regulating immunoglobulin gene diversification using genetically engineered mouse models and techniques in molecular biology, immunology, biochemistry, and genetics. The ideal candidate will have experience in B cell biology or genome integrity. Additional information about the Vuong lab can be found at www.bqvlab.org
Other Duties
- Analyze immunological phenotype of genetically engineered mutant mice
- Culture and genetically manipulate immune cells
- Perform molecular biological and biochemical experiments using primary cells or cell lines
- Supervise and train undergraduate and graduate students in laboratory techniques
- Present research at lab meetings and national/international conferences
- Publish research in peer-reviewed journals
- Write grants for independent funding
Qualifications
Experience in mammalian cell culture, genetically engineered mouse models, and molecular biology techniques is required. Candidates with experience in immunohistochemistry, immune cell development, and mouse embryology are highly encouraged to apply. A PhD in Immunology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field is required.
