Position

Two Postdoctoral Research Associate positions in immunology are available immediately in lab of Dr. Jay Evans in the Center for Translational Medicine at the University of Montana (Missoula MT). Work as part of a highly interactive multidisciplinary research team focused on the discovery and development of novel vaccine adjuvants and immunomodulators. Our multi-disciplinary team is made up of medicinal chemists, formulation scientists and immunologists working together toward one goal: to create new vaccines or improve existing vaccines through the discovery and development of novel adjuvants and delivery systems. Current projects include the development of novel vaccines targeting influenza virus, pertussis, pseudomonas, tuberculosis, allergy, and opioid addiction. Each of these projects include the goal of moving new vaccines or immunotherapies towards human clinical trials as well as exploring the immunological mechanisms of adjuvant activity and vaccine-mediated protection. Our team consists of former and current industry scientists with extensive translational research experience, making our lab a great place for anyone with an interest in translational immunology. This is an excellent opportunity to join a world-class multidisciplinary vaccine research team that is well funded and has strong connections in both academia and industry.

Missoula is a beautiful and vibrant college community, perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors! Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, Missoula is the hub of five valleys and three major rivers. Please apply if this sounds like the place for you, and come join our vaccine research team!

Position Details

· The successful applicant will be employed full-time by the University of Montana on a 12-month Letter of Appointment, which is renewable annually based on performance and funding, and includes a comprehensive and competitive benefits package including Insurance package, mandatory retirement plan, partial tuition waiver, and wellness program.

Minimum Qualifications

· Ph.D. in Immunology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedical Science or related field (current or within 3 months for current Ph.D. Candidates)

Preferred Qualifications

Our ideal candidate has experience with both human and mouse immunology, as well as common lab techniques, particularly flow cytometry, cell culture and primary cell assays, ELISAs, Westerns, fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, qPCR, and in vivo mouse models. Most importantly, they should be confident working independently and be comfortable moving into new areas, since our research spans all areas of immunology, cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology. A strong publication record and communication skills and keen interest in expanding your areas of expertise are also very desirable qualities!

The appointee is expected to be both highly independent and collaborative, and s/he will have significant leeway in the scope and design of projects. A key requirement is that the individual have the ability to see intellectually and technically complex projects through to their conclusion, which will involve developing methodological approaches and reviewing, analyzing, and interpreting scientific data and results from the project. The ability to exhibit independent decision making and participate in group discussions is expected in designing and implementing strategies for achieving shared research goals.
