Washington University in St. Louis is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Pathology & Immunology to join the laboratory of Dr. Aydan Szeto . The project focuses on discovering new pathways that regulate type-2 immunity , with specific emphasis on ILC2 and Th2 cell biology. The lab has already used cutting-edge CRISPR screens and developed a first-of-its-kind “Boolean mouse” for in vivo ILC2 studies, offering a highly active and technically sophisticated research env...

PhD opportunity in immunology and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology. The project, supervised by Dr Patrycja Kozic, asks whether perforin-2 (Mpeg1) forms pores in two orientations and how this ancient MACPF/CDC family protein is regulated during immune responses. The research focuses on perforin-2 function in dendritic cells and macrophages, especially its roles in attacking intravacuolar pathogens and enabling cytosolic antigen deliver...

About this position

PhD opportunity in neuro-immune circuits and viral infection at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Medical Research Council (Cambridge), United Kingdom.

This project focuses on how the nervous system shapes immune responses in peripheral tissues during homeostasis and viral infection. The research aims to define which neuronal and immune circuits are relevant for antiviral defence, with particular attention to mucosal tissues such as the lung and female reproductive tract, as well as other barrier tissues and the central nervous system.

The PhD student will develop and apply molecular tools and genetically altered mouse models to study neuro-immune crosstalk. The work is highly multidisciplinary and includes molecular biology, high-dimensional flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, and both in vitro and in vivo experimentation.

This is a competition-funded PhD project for students worldwide. The post does not list a stipend amount or detailed eligibility criteria, but it clearly targets applicants interested in immunology, virology, neuroscience, and systems-level analysis of immune regulation.

To apply, register your interest via the FindAPhD project page and submit the enquiry form. The university will respond directly to applicants through the platform.
