Postdoctoral position in Autoimmune response in Retinal disease (H/F)

Postdoctoral Position in Autoimmune Response in Retinal DiseaseContactPlease send a motivation letter with a statement of research interest, a summary of previous research activity, a detailed curriculum vitae (CV), and at least two reference letters to Cécile Delarasse ([email protected]).MissionA two-year (one year renewable) postdoctoral position is available at the Institut de la Vision (IDV) for a highly motivated PhD. The project will decipher the mechanisms involved in autoimmune response in a retinal pathology, Uveitis, with a focus on the role of purinergic receptors. Additionally, the efficacy of a therapeutic approach using AAV vectors coding for specific nanobodies to modify the disease course will be evaluated in a mouse model of uveitis.The host team 'Inflammation and Immunology in Retinal Diseases' is part of the IDV. The IDV is one of the most important research centers in Europe on eye diseases, bringing together researchers, clinicians, and industrial partners to discover, test, and develop treatments and technological innovations for the benefit of visually impaired patients.ProfilePosition responsibilities include using different approaches to study immune responses in mouse models of retinal diseases established in the lab (Flow cytometry, RNAseq, scRNAseq, Histology). The successful candidate will be involved in study design, performing experiments, data collection, publishing results, and presenting findings at seminars and conferences.Candidates with a PhD in Immunology or Neuroimmunology obtained in recent years, along with experience in the fields of inflammation, autoimmunity, purinergic receptors, and animal models, are encouraged to apply. Candidates whose expertise partially overlaps the requirements for this position are also welcome to apply, assuming there is interest in acquiring expertise with the other techniques. #J-18808-Ljbffr
