Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position at UW-Madison

wyluUID: 3566412

We are seeking highly motivated individuals for postdoctoral positions in the laboratory of Dr. Yun Liang at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Our laboratory is interested in understanding the molecular basis for sexual dimorphism in immunity, which represents a remarkable and unexplained example for biological differences between men and women. Many autoimmune diseases feature strikingly increased prevalence in females (~78% female overall and up to 95% for specific diseases). In contrast, infectious diseases affect more men than women at a 2:1 ratio. Using a combination of -omic, molecular, cell-based and animal-based approaches, we aim to decipher the mechanisms underlying the fundamental differences in immune regulation between men and women (e.g., Liang et al., Nature Immunology 2017; 18(2):152-160).

We welcome candidate who is passionate about biological or biomedical sciences. A PhD in immunology, molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry or closely related discipline is required. Experience with -omics and/or mouse models is preferred.

To apply, please send Dr. Liang a cover letter with a statement of your scientific background, research interests and career goals, a CV, and the names/contact information of three referees by email at liang95@wisc.edu.
