About this position
Postdoctoral Associate position in the Keeler Lab at the University of Florida (Gainesville, Florida, United States) focused on immunotherapy, multiple sclerosis, AAV vectorology, and immune tolerance. The project aims to develop novel AAV vectors to establish immune tolerance and treat autoimmune disease at reduced doses, while also studying immune responses to AAV administration and mechanisms of tolerance following liver-directed gene therapy.
The work is highly experimental and relies on mammalian cell culture, animal models for MS/EAE, and a broad set of molecular and immunological techniques including molecular cloning, DNA mutagenesis, vector production, qPCR, RT-qPCR, Southern and Western blotting, FACS, tissue culture, and data analysis.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a PhD degree within the last 2 years or be in the process of completing a PhD in biological sciences or related fields (molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, biomedical sciences, immunology, or similar). The post also asks for at least two first-author peer-reviewed publications, strong lab skills, and computer proficiency with common research software. Preferred experience includes virology, AAV vectorology, EAE models, and laboratory animal handling.
Funding: this is a paid postdoctoral associate role with an expected salary of $63,480 annually. Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled.
How to apply: upload a cover letter and resume via the University of Florida application portal. A final candidate must provide an official transcript upon hire; degrees earned outside the U.S. must be evaluated by a NACES-approved credentialing service.
