About this position
The University of Michigan is offering postdoctoral research positions in the immunology laboratory of Chang H. Kim within the Department of Pathology and the Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center. Researchers will join a productive, collaborative laboratory working in a modern and interconnected environment with dedicated mentorship and opportunities to develop careers in academia or industry.
The projects investigate how immune systems respond across mucosal and systemic contexts, with particular emphasis on allergic immune responses. Research directions include lymphocyte development, migration, and effector functions; regulation of mast cells and other immune cells by gut microbial metabolites; and the regulation of T cells and mast cells by retinoic acid and its receptors. Additional opportunities address tumor immunology and viral immunology.
Postdoctoral researchers will critically assess scientific literature, develop testable hypotheses, design rigorous experiments, analyze and interpret results, troubleshoot methods, and adapt research plans based on evidence. They will maintain high-quality research records, establish milestones with the principal investigator, communicate progress, prepare manuscripts, present findings at laboratory meetings and conferences, and contribute to responsible shared laboratory practices.
The laboratory values initiative, accountability, careful experimental work, reproducibility, open communication, and meaningful scientific contributions.
