About this position
Postdoctoral Associate opportunity at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) in Farmington, Connecticut, United States, working with the Jalili Lab in collaboration with Connecticut Children’s and UConn Health.
The project focuses on gastrointestinal host immune-microbiome culture models for disease modeling and therapeutic development. Research areas include organoid engineering, organ-on-a-chip platforms, microfluidics, microbiome science, single-cell transcriptomics, metagenomics, and proteomics. The work is aimed at understanding intestinal inflammatory conditions such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and eosinophilic esophagitis.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences, bioengineering, microbiology, immunology, or a related field. Strong experience in cell and tissue engineering, bioengineering, immunoengineering, and cell biology is expected. Prior work in in vivo models, gastroenterology research, bacterial cultures, host-microbiome interactions, and multi-omics is preferred. A first-author publication and strong communication/writing skills are required.
The position is a postdoctoral fellowship with salary support listed by experience level, starting at $65,589 for Year 0-1 and increasing up to $75,569 for Year 5-6.
To apply, submit a cover letter, a 1-page personal statement of scientific interests and career goals, and a CV with publications plus three references.
