想要出国访问学习的小伙伴看过来啦，芝加哥大学疫苗学和免疫学方向正在招收访问学者、博士后！51访学网小编每周定时更新最新的访学招聘信息，感谢关注51访学。

Job Profile：

We are seeking Postdoctoral Fellows interested in B cell/antibody mediated immunity to viral pathogens including influenza and SARS-CoV-2. 

The positions will involve studies of B lymphocyte and antibody responses to influenza and/or the SARS-CoV-2 viruses.

Coronavirus: The COVID-19 pandemic continues to infect massive numbers of people making it a high-priority pathogen.

Control of the current coronavirus outbreak and avoidance of future pandemics is a critical and timely endeavor. 

By understanding the underlying B cell response, antibodiesinduced, and epitopes targeted we can advance understanding of immunity to emerging pathogens and improve vaccination strategies and therapies.

Influenza: A truly universal vaccination strategy against influenza must manage escape mutations by the virus and the evolution of antibody responses to and away from epitopes that differ in their protectiveness and durability. 

A successful vaccine aims to minimize viral escape by boosting responses to multiple conserved, protective epitopes. 

Concepts for the broad and permanent protection against influenza variants and pandemic threats can also be applied to control the current coronavirus pandemic and avoid future pandemics.

Role Profile：

The position will involve use of technologies such as flow cytometry, single-cell transcriptomics (i.e., 10x Genomics technology), plus generation and characterization of human monoclonal antibodies in order to understand the biology of Bcell responses to better understand immunity and inform on vaccine design. 

We also have interest in novel vaccine antigen development and antibody-based therapeutic candidates. These positions will jointly provide understanding of the basic biological basis of B cell immunity to influenza and coronavirus while being simultaneously translatable to the clinic. 

specification：

Candidates should have completed a doctorate level degree and have a strong background in vaccinology and/or immunology,preferably related to B cells and antibodies. 

The successful candidate should have documented success in research including publications in international journals on relevant topics. 

Compensation is dependent upon qualifications. The University provides a generous package of fringe benefits. 

Proposal form:

Applicants should submit an application package that includes a cover letter, CV, relevant prior publications, and contact information for three references to Patrick Wilson, at wilsonp@uchicago.edu. 

Application review will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
