Postdoctoral Associate | Organ on a Chip | Jalili Lab

The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine

Job Description

The Jalili lab is seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral fellow to join our team. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects related to establishing an in vitro host immune-microbiome culture model for disease modeling, and vaccine and therapeutic development. We implement multiple technologies, like organoid engineering, organ on a chip platforms, microfluidics and microbiology for modeling skin and intestine inflammatory, autoimmune and cancer conditions, such as dermatitis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and colon cancer. We will have access to both animal- and patient-derived cells/organoids and microbiome and we will use our complex Organ Chip models to study the underlying mechanisms of these diseases and the role of immune cells in regulating the dysbiosis in skin and intestinal microbial composition. The postdoctoral scientist will lead an exciting project that applies a broad range of cutting-edge technologies, such as microfabrication, Organ on Chip development, bioprinting, organoid culture, microbiome sequencing, single-cell transcriptomics, metagenomics and proteomics. This position will also explore and leverage collaboration with bioengineers and clinicians in the Jackson Laboratory, University of Connecticut, UConn Health and beyond. The ideal candidate would have a strong background in biomedical engineering, biomaterials science, microfluidics, bioprinting, immune engineering, and microbiology.

JAX has a vibrant and interactive research and training environment characterized by multidisciplinary scientific collaboration, unparalleled mouse resources, and outstanding core services. In addition to lab-based training, JAX has developed a unique program for trainees to expand their professional skills in science communication, entrepreneurship, teaching, mentoring and laboratory management to best prepare postdocs for future career opportunities. In Connecticut, JAX resides in the scenic town of Farmington, in the state’s capitol region. The Hartford region, which offers some of the best public schools in the country, is made up of both bigger cities and smaller, charming historic New England towns. JAX Genomic Medicine is also geographically located within 1.5-2 hours of Boston and New York and is close to multiple transportation systems, including bus lines, highways, railroads and international airports.

Qualifications

Ph.D. in biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering, microbiology, immunology or related field of study.

Strong skillsets in cell and tissue engineering

Strong training background in biomedical engineering, biomaterials, immunoengineering and cell biology.

Experience in microfabrication, 3Dprinting/bioprinting, biomaterials fabrication, in vivo models, bacterial cultures, host-microbiome interactions, and multi-omics approaches are particularly preferred.

Candidates should have at least one 1st author publication record in peer-reviewed journal.

Excellent writing and communication skills, able to work independently and effectively with other members in a productive team.

Interested candidates should apply with:

A cover letter summarizing research training and accomplishments

A personal statement of scientific interests and career goals (1-page maximum)

Current CV with publications and contact information of three references

The Jalili lab supports postdocs that have either academic or non-academic long-term career goals, international candidates, women and candidates from all backgrounds. We truly believe in equal opportunity for all. For more information about the Jalili laboratory, please visit: https://www.jalili-lab.com.
