Recruitment form
What iMM seeks: The Lymphocyte Regulation laboratory opens a postdoctoral position under the
prestigious “la Caixa” Foundation funds within the project “Single cell and spatial transcriptomics to elucidate
the regulation of antibody production in vaccination and autoimmunity” (GCvax).
The project is directed towards the elucidation of the biology Tfh and T follicular regulatory (Tfr) subsets and
their mechanism in regulating germinal centre responses following vaccination. The postdoctoral fellow will
uncover the relationship between different Tfh subsets and their spatial location within the secondary lymphoid
tissues for the regulation of antibody production. The selected candidate will be responsible for the
computational biology studies combining spatial and single-cell transcriptomics. The research will make use of
single-cell and spatial transcriptomics technologies to investigate lymphoid tissue obtained following
vaccination. In parallel, equivalent datasets from biopsies of autoimmune patients will provide an opportunity
to explore the immune dysregulation leading to autoimmunity.
Profile of Candidate:
– Highly motivated PhD in biological or computational disciplines, with a background in computational
biology;
– Expertise in R/python, bash, and intermediate statistics (mandatory);
– Experience in single-cell omics data analysis (preferential);
– Previous knowledge of immunology will be a plus;
– Fluency in written and spoken English (mandatory).
