Associate Researcher (Dr. Puleston's Lab) - Immunobiology Center

A position for Associate Researcher is available in the Puleston Lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York starting July 2022.

 

Applying cutting-edge metabolomics and in vivo models of disease, the Puleston Lab strives to understand how metabolic factors shape immune cell function. In disease, the lab probes how tissue and cellular metabolic landscapes drive immune cell dysfunction that aid tumor growth and the development of aberrant auto-inflammation. In health, the objective is to reveal how distinct metabolic programs instruct the tissue-specific identity of T cells and macrophages and thereby maintain normal tissue homeostasis. Together, these approaches are expected to expose novel metabolic vulnerabilities that can be utilized therapeutically. To achieve these goals, the successful candidate will be directly engaged in innovative research utilizing mass spectrometry, in vivo models of tumor development and autoimmunity and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing.

 

Candidates with experience of cell culture, flow cytometry and standard molecular methods (PCR, western blot) are desired, but in the first instance we are looking for passionate and enthusiastic junior scientists to join our team.
