Our team, led by Dr. Ramnik Xavier, aim to understand the determinants of mucosal tolerance and immunity. To this end, our lab is using a combination of physiologically relevant cell-based assays, genome editing, novel mouse models, and computational analyses.We are looking for postdoctoral associates to identify the components of the innate and adaptive immune systems that interact dynamically in human health and disease.

Recent studies in our group have uncovered a novel role for CLEC12A as an early adaptor molecule in antibacterial autophagy (PMID: 26095365); used a CARD9 rare variant, that confers protection against inflammation, to uncover a TRIM62-mediated mechanism for regulation of CARD9 activation (PMID: 26488816); and identified DYRK1A as a physiologically relevant regulator of regulatory T cell differentiation (PMID: 25998054). Current projects include

(1) generate novel mouse models using cutting edge technologies, such as CRISPR, to uncover mechanisms of pathogenesis by inducing inflammation using infectious, non-infectious, and immune cell transfer models;
(2) perform functional genomic screens to place disease-associated genetic variants in pathways;
(3) examine the interactions between host genetics and the microbiome during inflammation; and
(4) determine the role of novel autophagy genes in antibacterial defenses in vivo, as well as characterizing cell-specific functions of those genes.

Requirements
- Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in immunology, cell biology or molecular biology
- Maximum 0-2 years of related postdoc experience preferred
- Well versed in the application of mouse models
- Strong publication record in high-impact journals

The autophagic delivery of intracellular pathogens to the lysosome is emerging as a central mechanism of innate and adaptive immunity. The broad objectives of the Xavier lab are to identify new candidate host genes and pathways that contribute to the induction of autophagy (perform genome-wide CRISPR screens, biochemical analysis, and analysis of mutant animals to define target mechanisms), and to develop successful strategies to increase autophagy in cells, thereby leading to new strategies to treat infectious diseases and disorders of mucosal immunity.Postdoc positions in our group are available to

(1) study molecular mechanisms of selective autophagy;
(2) determine the role of novel autophagy genes in antibacterial defenses in vivo and identify cell-specific functions of those genes; and
(3) identify small molecules that target selective autophagy.

• Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in immunology, cell biology or molecular biology
• Maximum 0-2 years of related postdoc experience preferred
• Well versed in the application of mouse models

OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY
The Xavier group uses a combination of cell-based assays, novel mouse models, patient samples, and computational analyses to understand the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and accelerate their treatment. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join an exciting initiative aimed at identifying small molecules that target the regulatory networks governing gut mucosal immune responses.

As a member of our team, the postdoctoral researcher will establish and perform assays aimed at developing and optimizing small molecule probe compounds with the desired characteristics. These probes will then be used

(1) to better understand the mechanisms that modulate gut innate immune responses in health and disease, and
(2) as leads for therapeutics. The role entails working with assay development and high throughput screening scientists, and closely collaborating with a team that includes immunologists, clinicians, computational biologists, and chemists to enable iterative rounds of compound testing and optimization.

CHARACTERISTIC DUTIES

- Performs detailed characterization of hits and chemically optimized compounds.
- Determines the feasibility and makes recommendations regarding the acquisition and/or implementation of new technologies, reagents and assay procedures.
- Uses demonstrated scientific creativity, collaboration with others and independent thought to expand technical capabilities and identify new research opportunities. - Ph.D. in immunology, cell biology or biochemistry. Background in autophagy strongly preferred.
- Solid experience in the development of biochemical and/or cell-based assays.
- Experience working with primary cells and mouse disease models a plus.
- Strong publication record and excellent communication skills.
- Excellent organization and time management skills required.
