The Mesa Laboratory at Princeton University, led by Assistant Professor Kai Mesa, is seeking postdoctoral researchers to join a dynamic team investigating the intersection of immunology and regenerative biology. The lab focuses on macrophages—versatile immune cells involved in engulfing dying cells, combating pathogens, and orchestrating wound healing. By leveraging expertise in immunology, stem cell biology, and advanced multiphoton microscopy, the Mesa Lab explores how macrophage behavior influences tissue regeneration and physiological aging.

Research in the lab involves pioneering techniques such as multiphoton imaging to observe and manipulate immune cell behavior at the single-cell level in live animal models. The group is particularly interested in understanding context-specific macrophage fates and their roles in tissue repair and aging processes. This is an excellent opportunity for postdoctoral candidates passionate about cutting-edge research in immunology, regenerative biology, and advanced imaging technologies.

Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field such as immunology, stem cell biology, or regenerative biology. Experience with multiphoton imaging, live animal models, or advanced microscopy is highly desirable. The position offers the chance to work in a collaborative and innovative environment at Princeton University, a leading institution in biomedical research.
