København N
We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc to join the Barrier Immunology group headed by Professor William Agace at the LEO Foundation Skin Immunology Research Center (SIC), Department of Immunology and Microbiology, for a 3-year position to commence on November 1st, 2024.
As a postdoc, you will combine cutting-edge animal models with experimental wet lab and in silico tools to deepen our understanding of intestinal immune responses during homeostasis and inflammation. You will contribute to enhancing the future research directives of the group, with potential translational merit for clinical studies into inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Information on the department can be found at https://isim.ku.dk and https://sic.ku.dk
Our research
The Barrier Immunology group strives to generate fundamental insights into the molecular and cellular networks involved in the regulation of intestinal immune responses. As a postdoc, you will join a diverse and superb team of international researchers within the newly established ‘Center for Intestinal Immune Regulation (CIIR)’ funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation Challenge Programme. CIIR is comprised of 4 collaborating teams: the Agace lab (University of Copenhagen); the McCoy lab (University of Calgary, (Canada)); the Bendtsen unit (Hvidovre Hospital); and the Rønn Olsen lab (Technical University of Denmark). Combined, these teams represent world-class expertise in mucosal immunology, gastroenterology, microbiota-host interactions, bioinformatics, and state-of-the-art animal models, and are aiming to identify intestinal immune-stromal interactions important in intestinal homeostasis and IBD. In joining, you will be part of a highly vibrant and cross-disciplinary group of researchers at the international forefront of mucosal barrier immunology research.
Your job
We are looking for a highly engaged candidate to drive our current research activities surrounding immune-stromal interactions and contribute to deciphering the molecular and cellular mechanisms important in intestinal homeostasis and disease. The project is multi-disciplinary and will involve close collaborations with participating bioinformaticians, as well as researchers analysing human intestinal immune compartments in health and in IBD.
Your tasks as a postdoc include:
