A position is available immediately in Dr. Marc Rothenberg’s laboratory ((www.cincinnatichildrens.org/research/divisions/a/allergy- immunology/labs/rothenberg/default/), which is focused on allergic responses especially in mucosal tissues such as the lung and the gastrointestinal tract, and aims to understand mechanisms, develop drug targets and identify novel therapeutic strategies and agents. The postdoctorate will be focused on genomics, genetics, molecular immunology, and/or chemistry of several novels susceptibility loci and pathways involved in allergic diseases, and the biochemistry and enzymology of proteases (particularly calpain-14). The postdoctorate will develop, synthesize and/or evaluate small molecule detectors and inhibitors of signaling pathway molecules relevant in allergic diseases. The ideal candidate will have a PhD or equivalent in Biomedical Research with strong expertise in big data analysis, molecular and cellular immunology and/or genetics, medicinal, synthetic or organic Chemistry. A working knowledge of the immune system, genetics and enzymology is preferable.
