Neuromodulator Immunologist

The Research Fellow will contribute to the investigation of the impact of stress-derived neuromodulators on immune cell homeostasis in tissues.

This is a research position focused on understanding the relationship between stress and immune response. The successful candidate will be working on a project that aims to investigate the mechanisms by which stress affects immune cell function.

• Bachelor's degree in immunology, neurosciences or related fields;
• Expertise in animal experimentation and molecular biology;
• Proficiency in flow cytometry and data analysis techniques.

This fellowship provides an excellent opportunity for postdoctoral researchers or recent Ph.D. graduates to gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge research techniques. The successful candidate will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and collaboration with international experts in the field.

• Identify associated molecular mechanisms through in vivo and in vitro gain or loss of function experiments;
• Analyze the stress-induced behavior from mice genetically modified for the expression of specific target candidates.

• Predicted start date: November 2024;
• Duration: 12 months (exclusive);
• Renewal conditions: Eventually renewable until the maximum stipulated in the applicable regulations.

The research activities will be developed at Neuroimmunology & Oncoimmunology of iMM, under the supervision of Dr. Julie Ribot.

iMM is committed to ensuring compliance with the principles of non-discrimination and equality. The institute provides a diverse environment where researchers and non-researchers of different nationalities, backgrounds, and areas of study work together.
