The Salivary Disorders Unit at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a 2–5-year project on Sjögren’s disease and salivary gland dysfunction. The central research question is which antigens are recognized by T cells in Sjögren’s disease-affected salivary glands and how that recognition contributes to the loss of glandular function. The program connects a Sjögren’s disease resear...

About this position

Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate in Lung Transplant Immunology to join the Section of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine in Houston, Texas.

The NIH-funded research program investigates the immunologic mechanisms underlying chronic lung allograft dysfunction, with particular emphasis on type I interferon signaling, regulatory T cell biology, and virus-host interactions. The researcher will study mechanisms of chronic rejection using murine models of lung transplantation, precision-cut lung slices, and in vitro immune cell co-culture systems.

The project combines experimental transplant immunobiology with advanced analysis of high-dimensional datasets. The postdoctoral associate will work with flow cytometry, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics, using R or Python to evaluate and interpret findings. Additional experimental areas include regulatory T cell isolation and suppression assays, NETosis induction, and viral infection modeling in transplant settings.

Responsibilities include designing and conducting specialized experiments, developing research protocols, preparing figures and manuscripts, contributing to grant proposals, and presenting findings at seminars and scientific meetings. The role also involves laboratory operations, coordination with imaging and sequencing core facilities, compliance with IACUC and biosafety requirements, and mentorship and technical training of junior laboratory members, graduate students, and visiting scholars.

The position provides a research environment centered on pulmonary medicine, transplantation, immunology, molecular profiling, and biomedical discovery at Baylor College of Medicine.

Funding details

Salary range is $63,480–$80,000. Baylor College of Medicine typically follows NIH-stipulated stipend guidelines for Postdoctoral Associates.

What's required
