Postdoctoral Position in Single Molecule Microscopy at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, San Diego, California.

The Lillemeier laboratory is part of the NOMIS Center for Immunobiology and the WAITT Advanced Biophotonics Center. Research in the laboratory focuses on how T cell activities and functions are initiated and controlled during adaptive immune responses. Using cutting edge super-resolution and single molecule imaging technologies, the lab studies the organization of proteins in space and time to uncover how T cell signaling pathways are assembled and dissociated. Our goal is to modulate molecular mechanisms of T cell signaling to alter immune responses and find alternatives to current immunotherapies.
Postdoctoral positions are available to study the molecular dynamics and distributions of T cell signaling molecules, specifically in the T cell receptor (TCR) and PD-1 checkpoint pathways. The goal of these studies is to discover novel spatio-temporal mechanisms that are potential drug targets for future immunotherapies. The position requires application and/or development of cutting edge single molecule fluorescence microscopy techniques (based on single molecule super-resolution and tracking). We encourage applications from life scientists, engineers, physicists etc. that are interested in cutting edge imaging and/or T cell Biology.
