Posted by the FREE value-added recruitment advertising agency (https://www.jobelephant.com/) Post-Doctoral Fellow - 35378 Faculty Our mission is to identify therapeutically targetable immunologic mechanisms in human uveitis. We have a biorepository of samples from 1500 patients. We apply bioinformatic and machine learning algorithms to integrate clinical phenotyping, flow cytometry and deep transcriptional profiling of ocular and peripheral blood immune cells, and genetic analysis. We use patient-derived recombinant antibodies to identify antigen targets of ocular inflammation. We also utilize in vitro and in vivo models to study ocular immune responses. The successful postdoctoral fellow will lead specific research projects aimed at: (1) management and expansion of patient sample biorepository including IRB work, contracts, materials and data transfer agreements and interfacing with clinicians, epidemiologists and clinical trials staff, (2) identification of novel therapeutic targets through bioinformatic analysis of clinical and molecular data. Fellos will also significantly contribute to characterization of antigen targets of ocular B cell responses, provide mentorship to students and staff and collaborate on grant and manuscript preparation. We seek motivated and independent scientists willing to contribute their expertise and knowledge. The position will involve interacting with patients and access to clinical information and biologic specimens. The main responsibilities include organization and oversight of repository expansion, bioinformatic analysis, immunophenotyping using flow cytometry, single-cell RNA-sequencing and similar techniques. Other duties include publishing and communicating research results in both oral and written formats and assisting with the training and mentoring of students and technicians. - this role is expected to work onsite and is located in Aurora, CO. The Department of Ophthalmology is housed in the Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center on the Anschutz Medical Campus. This state-of-the-art facility is one of the largest eye centers in the country and serves not only patients in the Rocky Mountain region but also patients all over the world. The technological innovations conceived and developed by departmental faculty have changed the practice of eye care throughout the world. Our educational programs train the next generation of leaders in ophthalmology. Our specialists have developed national and international reputations for excellence in routine and complex ophthalmic care. We have invested heavily in tracking our clinical outcomes and we are proud that our clinicians perform at the highest levels in their respective fields. The mission of the Department of Ophthalmology is to be a nationally recognized department of ophthalmology by providing exemplary patient care founded on educational leadership, innovative research, and high ethical standards. https://apptrkr.com/get\_redirect.php?id=5781739&targetURL=Post Doctoral Fellow Our mission is to identify therapeutically targetable immunologic mechanisms in human uveitis.
