Expertise is required in the specific area of of human immunology with a focus on lymph node biology, stromal cell biology, and/or immune-mediated diseases (in particular, multicentric Castleman disease and other hyperinflammatory syndromes). Required experience includes multiomic data generation and analysis, in-depth understanding with human clinical data and integration, and strong grounding in molecular and cellular signaling, including biochemical and mechanistic approaches. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree.
