Postdoctoral Fellowships

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Felton lab for highly motivated and talented applicants who are interested in diabetes immunology research. Dr. Felton’s research focuses on understanding mechanisms of immune tolerance in type 1 diabetes in order to develop effective therapeutic interventions. We are specifically interested in interactions between immune cells and the islet microenvironment, the role B lymphocytes in type 1 diabetes pathogenesis, and identifying early biomarkers of disease using relevant in vitro and ex vivo models of mouse and human type 1 diabetes. This research makes extensive use of cell and molecular biology techniques and includes small animal (mouse) handling and dosing.

The Asthma and Allergic Diseases Research Group has an immediate opening available for a highly motivated individual interested in development of dendritic cells and initiation of allergy early in life. Experimental approaches span molecular analysis of gene expression, cell signaling, mutant mouse models of allergic disease, and use of patient samples. Experience with mouse models of allergic disease, flow cytometry, molecular biology, dendritic cell culture, or high pressure liquid chromatography is preferred. Candidates with first author publications and good spoken and written English will be given priority. The candidate will be part of a multi-lab program with strengths in cytokine and inflammatory cell biology, airway physiology, and models of disease with access to appropriate patient samples for analysis.

The Gene and Cell Therapy Program at Indiana University’s Herman B Wells Center for Pediatric Research is seeking to hire a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with extensive training in one of the following areas: molecular biology, virology, immunology, and gene therapy. Projects include adeno-associated viral (AAV) gene transfer for the treatment of hemophilia or muscular dystrophy, cell therapies, and regulatory T cell engineering, immunology of gene therapy vectors, and tolerance-inducing drug therapies. Candidates should have a track record in life science research. The postdoctoral fellow will be asked to present their findings locally and at national meetings and are expected to generate manuscripts for publication in high-quality scientific journals.

The Kua Lab focuses to understand mechanisms underlying Developmental Origin of Health and Adult Diseases, focusing on the following disease/organ system context: 1) Mechanisms contributing to islet dysfunction in offspring exposed to maternal obesity. 2) Mechanisms by which maternal obesity programs hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell function in offspring exposed to maternal obesity. 3) Human samples to predict onset of gestational diabetes during early gestation. The candidate will be primarily working within a collaborative environment in an NIH-funded diabetes center, and the Wells Center for Pediatric Research. There will be numerous collaborative projects.
