About this position

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Medicine is advertising a Post-Doctoral Fellow position in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the MCV Main Campus in Richmond, Virginia, United States.

The postdoctoral researcher will join the laboratory of Dr. José Fachi to study intestinal immunity, host-microbiota interactions, and mucosal inflammation. The research combines immunology, microbiology, metabolism, and genetically engineered mouse models to investigate how immune cells communicate with the intestinal environment during homeostasis and disease.

Projects include multicolor and spectral flow cytometry, immune cell isolation from intestinal and lymphoid tissues, functional analysis of innate and adaptive immune populations, tissue processing, molecular biology, and experiments using mouse models of intestinal inflammation and infection. The role also includes data analysis, manuscript preparation, scientific presentations, grant-related research, and mentoring junior lab members.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in Immunology, Microbiology, Biomedical Sciences, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, or a related life science field. Preferred experience includes immunology, FlowJo, flow cytometry, genetically engineered mouse models, tissue culture, PCR/qPCR, Western blotting, and prior scientific productivity.

Funding information states a salary starting at the NIH minimum of $63,480–$65,000. The position is restricted and has no set end date; continuation depends on project need, funding availability, and performance.

Applications are submitted through the VCU Jobs portal. The posting does not list a deadline, so applicants should apply as soon as possible. Contact email: [email protected].
