Research Fellow in Immunity in Alzheimer’s Disease
SKILLS
FULL DESCRIPTION
Research Fellow in Immunity in Alzheimer’s Disease
We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team investigating how Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk genes influence microglial function in disease. The project focuses on the antigen-presenting role of microglia in amyloid pathology and the immunological impact of MHC-II–mediated responses in the brain.
You will use a wide range of techniques, including our unique human microglia xenograft model (PMID: 31659342, 38539015), and work closely with both computational and experimental teams at the Francis Crick Institute and VIB, Leuven.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to high-impact research in a world-class, collaborative environment.
About you
You’ll have a PhD in Immunology, Neuroscience, or a related field, with experience with macrophage and/or microglia biology and knowledge of molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, or related disciplines, as well as proficiency in cell culture and cell biology techniques, with a strong understanding of immunology and/or antigen presentation.
Experience with animal experiments, particularly in handling and working with mice is also essential for this role.
