Postodctoral Scholar, Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (Computational Immunology) Position Overview Organization: Medicine, Allergy & Infectious Diseases Title: Postodctoral Scholar, Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (Computational Immunology) Position Details Position Description The Seshadri lab is focused on identifying immune mechanisms of protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of human tuberculosis. We perform detailed studies of unique human cohorts, such as ‘TB resisters’ as well as complementary work in animal models, including non-human primates. Increasingly, the work involves the generation of high-dimensional immunologic data requiring advanced mathematical and statistical approaches for analysis. Multi-institutional collaborations require coordination and integration with complementary clinical and microbiologic datasets. The candidate will have an opportunity to contribute to one or more projects as well as learn cellular and molecular immunology. Current lines of inquire include: Decoding the T-cell repertoire of TB ‘resisters’ using high-throughput T cell receptor sequencing (TCR-Seq). Using single-cell RNA sequencing (CITE-Seq) to define the functional and phenotypic diversity of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells. Defining the functional diversity of antigen-specific T cells using novel computation approaches (COMPASS). This is a full-time position with a 12 months service period with the possibility for yearly renewal dependent upon performance and continued funding. The start date for this position would be as soon as possible. Postdoctoral scholars are represented by UAW 4121 and are subject to the collective bargaining agreement, unless agreed exclusion criteria apply.
