Post-Doctoral Position in Human Heart Transplantation Immunology
Job Summary
A post-doctoral position is open in the laboratory of Dr. Emmanuel Zorn at the Columbia
Center for Translational Immunology to study the contribution of B cell and humoral
immunity to human cardiac allograft rejection. One avenue of research will be to examine
B cells infiltrating heart transplants at time of rejection. Studies will be conducted in
collaboration with members of the New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical
Center Cardiac Transplant Program. Our translational research aims at developing novel
therapeutic strategies. Studies will use a wide range of complementary methods including
primary human cell culture, B cell cloning, protein assays, molecular biology techniques
as well as functional cell based assays. We are seeking a junior, creative, self-motivated
and hard-working individual with documented research experience related to this
position. Candidates should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D with training in immunology
(human immunology preferred).

Post-Doctoral Position in Human B Cell Immunology
Job Summary
A post-doctoral position is open in the laboratory of Dr. Emmanuel Zorn at the Columbia
Center for Translational Immunology to study the function of B1 B cells and “natural
antibodies” in humans. The NIH funded research will make use of a unique collection of
biological specimens to localize and characterize B1 B cells throughout the human body.
Studies will use a wide range of methods including primary human cell culture, B cell
cloning, ELISA, protein assays, molecular biology techniques as well as functional cell
based assays. We are seeking a junior, creative, independent and hard-working individual
with documented research experience related to this position. Motivated candidates
should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D with training in immunology (human immunology
preferred).
