Postdoc in T Cell Recognition in Autoimmune Diseases at Technical University Denmark, Denmark -PhD Immunology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, molecular biology-Apply

Description & Details:  A postdoctoral position is available in the ‘T cell recognition and Cancer’ group headed by Associate Professor Sine Reker Hadrup at the Section of Immunology and Vaccinology, at the Technical University Denmark, Veterinary Institute, Frederiksberg.

The ‘T cell recognition and Cancer’ group is currently consisting of 15 people, including Postdocs, PhD students, Technicians and undergraduate students. The overall aim of the research group is to gain novel insight to T cell recognition of cancer and autoimmune diseases, through use and development of novel technologies.

Responsibilities and tasks 
The postdoc will be responsible for a project focusing on describing the T cell recognition in autoimmune diseases, with specific focus on Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). We will specifically assess the CD8 T cell recognition in this disease through application of a novel MHC multimer-based technology, developed in the research group. The project will include analyses of patient samples from clinical collaborators.

The project is closely related to other ongoing project in the group, and collaboration and shared responsibility across projects in the research team is expected.

The task includes selection of targets for immune recognition in RA, based on the pathophysiology of disease or based on gene expression analysis. T cell recognition is assessed through use of in house produced peptide-MHC multimers.

Qualifications 
Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent. It is important that the applicant has knowledge in the field of T cell immunology and MHC-based recognitions. It is advantage is the applicant has experience in the field of autoimmune diseases and the use of MHC multimers for T cell detection. Experience with Flow Cytometry is required.   View More Details
