Dalhousie University
Post-Doctoral Position in Dendritic Cell
And Lymph Node Biology
A postdoctoral position is available at Dalhousie University. The research area of our
group is the interaction between dendritic cells and other cells of the immune system and
the role of this interaction in immune responses to organ transplants and tumors. The
candidate will have a PhD or MD/PhD in immunology, pathology or cell biology.
Current projects in the group focus on dendritic cell-T cell interactions in the immune
synapse, the role of neural molecules expressed by dendritic cells and the role of
fibroblastic reticulum cells in immune responses. Previous experience in flow cytometry
and confocal microscopy would be an asset.
Dalhousie University is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The lab is located within the
Department of Microbiology and Immunology which provides a supportive environment
with several collaborative laboratories studying various aspects of the immune response.
Interested applicants should e-mail a CV, a cover letter outlining their past and present
research interests, and names and contact information of three references:
