Preferred Qualifications: Seeking two highly motivated recent (or soon to be) Ph.D. graduates with an immunology background. Experience with CRISPR/Cas9, single cell RNAseq analysis, flow cytometry and mouse models are highly desired. Description: A postdoctoral position is available in the Wu lab between now to summer 2025 in the Division of Rheumatology and Immunobiology at the Ohio State University to work on the roles of gut commensal bacteria in the development of autoimmune disease with a focus on gender-specific difference in rheumatoid arthritis. The Wu lab has a strong focus on both systemic and mucosal immunology. We aim to understand the immunomodulation and immunometabolic role of human pathobionts or mouse commensals in the development of gut-distal autoimmune diseases including autoimmune arthritis and lung pathology (e.g. inducible bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue/iBALT) by using murine arthritis models and human patient samples.
