The laboratory “Immunity in Health and Disease” is looking for a highly motivated research engineer to support its studies in the regulatory functions of B cells in autoimmune and infectious diseases. The project is funded by a European Research Council (ERC) grant awarded to characterize cytokine-producing regulatory plasma cells and pro-inflammatory B cells in autoimmune and infectious diseases. The candidate should have knowledge in cellular immunology, including flow cytometry, and molecular biology. She/he will provide general support for the development and management of the laboratory, as well as the establishment of novel methodologies, in relation with the scientists working in the team. She/he will also provide assistance to the group leade!

 r for the management of the laboratory. Our projects combine state-of-the art in vivo genetic models with cellular and molecular approaches to characterize novel disease-relevant B cell subsets. The laboratory “Immunity in Health and Disease” is at the interface between fundamental and clinical research, and the long-term goal of the project is to derive tools useful in the clinic.

The position is open.

Salary will be according to experience.
