The Valenzuela Laboratory in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at UCLA is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Postdoctoral Fellow. Successful candidates will have obtained or will soon be eligible to obtain their PhD or MD/PhD in the field of immunology, organ transplantation or vascular biology, with less than 7 years of post-doctoral training.
Applicants are expected to have research experience working with human and murine leukocytes and/or vascular cells, with technical expertise in mammalian cell culture, murine models, flow cytometry, PCR, immunoblotting, cell isolation, ELISA, and transcriptome or epigenetic studies.
