Postdoc: Endothelial Immunology & Malaria Research

University of Maryland, Baltimore; Baltimore (MD); Sur place; USD 52 000 - 68 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in malaria immunology. The role focuses on endothelial cell biology, IgG transport, and advanced imaging to uncover antibody persistence mechanisms.

You will develop 2D/3D endothelial assays, analyze data, and contribute to manuscripts and grant proposals while mentoring junior researchers.

Qualifications

• PhD in Immunology, Cell Biology, Pharmacology, Molecular Biology, or related field.
• Experience with human endothelial cell culture.
• Strong experience with fluorescence and/or confocal microscopy.
• Publication record reflecting substantive endothelial cell culture work.
• Evidence of independent scientific writing and development of original ideas.

Responsabilités

• Develop human endothelial cell models for IgG recycling, catabolism, and transcytosis in malaria immunology.
• Develop and optimize 2D/3D endothelial-based assays to study IgG handling and antibody transport.
• Analyze data and maintain accurate lab records.
• Prepare manuscripts, figures, and contribute to grant applications.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and external partners.
• Mentor graduate students and junior staff.
• Participate in lab meetings and scientific presentations.
• Maintain compliance with biosafety and research regulations.
