Postdoctoral Scholar

Job description

An exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research position at the intersection of immunology, dermatology, and cancer biology is available in Dr. Joshua Moreau’s laboratory at Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute. Dr. Moreau’s research program explores the biology of tissue-resident lymphocytes and how these cells contribute to the pathogenesis of cancer and inflammatory skin disease.
The successful applicant will lead grant-funded projects to investigate the immunobiology of B cells and their role in skin disease. This work will combine in vivo transgenic mouse models with human tissue experiments, including multiomic approaches. Significant support for computational analysis of spatial and scRNA-sequencing data is available in the Moreau Lab as well as the collaborative and interdisciplinary environment of the Knight Cancer Institute.
