About this position
Washington University in St. Louis is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Cooper lab in Pediatrics, Rheumatology and Immunology at the Washington University Medical Campus in St. Louis, Missouri.
The research focuses on understanding somatic variants in inborn errors of immunity. The postdoctoral fellow will independently design and perform experiments related to identifying somatic genetic variants that contribute to immune dysfunction, working with oversight from the principal investigator. The project combines immunology, bioinformatics and genomic data analysis with wet-lab immunologic techniques.
The fellow will analyze genomic datasets, interpret research findings, document experiments accurately and prepare manuscripts describing the work. The role also offers participation in collaborative laboratory activities, grant writing and training grant applications, regular scientific meetings with Dr. Megan Cooper, and career development discussions.
The laboratory provides a collaborative research environment involving faculty mentorship and interaction with other members of the Cooper lab. Because the work is laboratory-based, the fellow may encounter biological and chemical hazards and may work with research animals while following appropriate safety procedures.
