About this position
The Hemmers Lab at Duke University School of Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral associate to study how developmental cues during early perinatal life shape the adult T cell compartment.
The research focuses on immune-system ontogeny from fetal development through adulthood. The project examines whether neonatal-derived T cells make distinct contributions to adult immunity, how those contributions differ across cell types and tissues, and how these cells influence tissue health and disease.
The successful researcher will investigate neonatal T cell populations using genetic timestamping approaches, high-parameter spectral flow cytometry, single-cell transcriptomics, and imaging analyses. Work will include mouse genetic models and experimental studies of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, followed by analysis and interpretation of data related to cellular immunology, transcriptomics, T cell biology, and immune function.
The lab provides a collaborative research environment within Duke University School of Medicine and Duke Health. The postdoctoral associate will contribute to scientific discussions, presentations, publications, and projects spanning immunology, mouse genetics, and single-cell biology, with potential relevance to therapeutic strategies.
