Postdoc in Immunology: T Helper Cell Clonality & Allergy

1000scholars; København; On-site; DKK 406,000 - 486,000; Full time

Job summary

The University of Copenhagen is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study the clonality of CD4 T cell responses to allergens using mouse models and human samples. The project will map repertoire usage, identify new allergenic peptide epitopes, and develop peptide-specific T cell detection tools in the lab.

Applicants should have a PhD in immunology or related fields, experience with flow cytometry and single-cell RNA-Seq, and be proficient in English.

Qualifications

• PhD required in medical sciences (immunology, molecular biology or genetics).
• Experience with mouse models of allergy and flow cytometry.
• Active interest in allergies, T helper cells, cytokines and immune crosstalk.
• Proficiency in cloning and next generation sequencing.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in teams.
• Excellent English language skills.

Responsibilities

• Explore clonality of CD4 T cell response to allergens using mouse models and human samples.
• Map T cell clonality to identify repertoire usage patterns and novel allergenic epitopes.
• Develop peptide-specific T cell detection tools and screening platforms in lab.
• Collaborate across interdisciplinary teams within a large international network.
