This particular project focuses on the role of pregnancy-related microchimerism. This phenomenon reflects the exchange of cells over the placenta between mother and fetus. The project is funded by the John Templeton Foundation and is part of an international consortium study group that focuses on microchimerism.
We are seeking a colleague with a PhD in biomedical sciences or a related field and with a proven track record of achievement. Experience in the field of immunology is essential. The project involves cell culturing and cloning, flow cytometric analyses and sorting, single-cell RNA sequencing, quantitative PCR, and protein-based assays. Knowledge of molecular biology, as well as genomic research portals and software is desirable. An ideal candidate is able to work independently as well as in a team, has a pro-active attitude and good organizational skills. Excellent communication skills in English are essential.
