The Majer lab investigates how endosome biology intersects with Toll-like receptor signaling to maintain effective responses to microbial nucleic acids without triggering autoimmunity. By examining the sorting behavior and subcellular environments in which these receptors operate, we aim to uncover new mechanisms that control their activity and prevent disease. We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral researchers with:
A strong background in immunology and/or cell biology
Experience with mouse models, primary cell culture, and genetic engineering
(Preferred) expertise in fluorescence microscopy Postdocs in our lab are expected to independently lead a major research project, think creatively, and contribute to advancing the field. A strong research record, demonstrated through publications or other scholarly work, is essential. Please send your CV including contact information for three references and a statement of why you are interested in the lab.
