Application Window Open date: March 22, 2023 Most recent review date: Monday, Mar 11, 2024 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Final date: Sunday, Sep 22, 2024 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Position description Junior Specialist- Wilder Lab Nature Of Research Epithelium at mucosal layers, such as in the respiratory tract, are primary targets during infections due to their role as barrier cells to the environment and thus have various host defense mechanisms. The innate immune functions of lung epithelial cells and their role controlling immune cell infiltration and inflammation, an important immune response that needs to be tightly controlled to prevent immune-mediated pathogenesis, needs to be fully understood. Thus, the molecular mechanisms of innate immune cellular signaling pathways and transcriptional regulation and their impact on immune cell recruitment and activation should be investigated. The lab is seeking to recruit a Junior Specialist with expertise in the theory of and analytic methods of biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, or a related field with experience in gene editing, next generation sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. The hire needs to have a passion about scientific research with the willingness and ability to learn, take risks, and work well with others. The vision of the Wilder Lab is to mechanistically understand antiviral and inflammatory responses in the contexts of both health and inflammatory disease by understanding how lung epithelial cells control antiviral and inflammatory responses. This knowledge will be used to develop predictive, quantitative models of immune responses and develop cellular model systems that promote anti-viral immune responses. Outline Of Responsibilities
