Mount Sinai; United States; On-site; USD 75,000 - 80,000; Full time

Job summary

The Naik Laboratory at Mount Sinai seeks highly motivated postdocs to lead projects aimed at infant atopic diseases using a new mouse model of allergen-induced skin inflammation. You will apply genetic tools, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, multiparameter flow cytometry, and imaging to uncover why neonate and adult immune cells respond differently to allergens.

You will mentor students and technicians, assist with publishing manuscripts and grants, and collaborate closely with other

Qualifications

• Ph.D. required and hands-on experience in a research laboratory.

The Naik Laboratory is seeking highly motivated postdocs to lead projects aimed at atopic diseases represented by atopic dermatitis are highly prevalent in neonates, however, the underlying mechanism is not well understood. We established a new mouse model in which allergen induced skin inflammation in neonate mice but not in adult mice. By applying mouse genetic tools, bulk RNA sequencing, single cell RNA sequencing, multiparameter flow cytometry, and immunofluorescent imaging we are able to reveal the mechanism about how neonate and adult immune cells differently response to common allergens. Mentoring and training of undergraduate, master and rotation PhD. students, and technicians. Assist with publishing manuscripts and grant writing.
