About this position
Northeastern University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the New England Inflammation and Tissue Protection Institute in Boston. The project focuses on muscle biology, inflammatory disease, and highly translational research aimed at understanding disease mechanisms and validating novel therapeutic targets.
The researcher will design and conduct in vivo studies using murine models of muscle disease and inflammatory disorders. Work will include developing and characterizing disease-relevant models through biochemical and pharmacological manipulation, as well as performing animal handling, dosing, tissue collection, and phenotypic analysis.
The project combines in vivo research with cellular and biochemical assay development. The researcher will investigate immune and inflammatory mechanisms using techniques such as multiparameter flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, histology, ELISA, ELISPOT, Incucyte analysis, qPCR, and Western blotting. In vitro activities include immune-cell and co-culture assays, cell-based immunological assays, and inflammatory models.
The postdoctoral researcher will analyze complex experimental datasets and interpret findings with scientists across immunology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics. The role also involves communicating results to cross-functional teams and industrial biotechnology partners, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, and presenting at scientific meetings. The institute offers an interdisciplinary and translational research environment connecting disease biology with therapeutic development.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in cellular biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, or a related field, with a strong focus on murine myopathy models. Demonstrated experience with in vivo experimentation, including animal handling, dosing, tissue collection, and phenotypic analysis, is required. Candidates should be familiar with translational assays and molecular techniques such as multiparameter flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, histology, ELISA, ELISPOT, Incucyte, qPCR, and Western blot, and possess strong in vitro skills in immune-cell, co-culture, cell-based immunological, and inflammatory-model assays. Strong analytical, communication, interpersonal, teamwork, leadership, and organizational skills, along with relevant scientific publications, are expected. Experience with myopathy or inflammation models, stem cell-derived muscle models, 3D culture systems, physiological hypoxia, or biochemical and immunological mechanisms of immune suppression is preferred.
