About this position
Tokyo Medical University's Department of Immunological Regulation at the Institute of Medical Science is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher or research assistant for immunology and regenerative medicine research.
The project focuses on developing New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) to predict and evaluate respiratory allergies, vitiligo, and immunotoxicity caused by chemical substances, cosmetics, nanoparticles, and antibody drugs. Research will use single- and co-culture systems based on human cell lines, including human dendritic cells and T cells.
Responsibilities include cell-line culture, construction of cell culture systems, stimulation with various substances, and evaluation using RT-qPCR, ELISA, FACS, and related techniques. Candidates with backgrounds in medical or biological sciences and experience in cell culture, molecular biology, cell biology, or immunological techniques are preferred, although applicants with limited experience may be considered.
This is a fixed-term annual contract, renewable and not tenure-track. The position is based at Tokyo Medical University, 6-1-1 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan, with a planned relocation to the Yokohama area from April 2027.
