National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
Our laboratory investigates
multiple aspects of cell surface receptors that regulate immune function, from
regulation of expression and signaling mechanisms to cellular dynamics and
function. The current studies have evolved from an historical interest in
receptors important for natural killer (NK) cell function. Our current research
is focused in three related areas: 1) regulation of expression of the NK cell
activating receptors, NKG2D-DAP10 and CD16, with the hope of enhancing the
immunotherapeutic value of NK cells; 2) role of lytic granule proteins in
regulating NK cell cytolytic activity; 3) role of the orphan receptors, CD300s,
Toso (FcμR) and LAIR-1, regulating inflammation.
REQUIREMENTS:
Applicants must have a Ph.D. or
MD and less than 5 years of postdoctoral experience. The Laboratory of
Immunogenetics is located in an NIH satellite campus near the Twinbrook Metro
Station in Rockville that houses about 30 senior investigators and several
hundred research fellows.
TO APPLY:
Candidates should submit a CV,
including contact information for three letters of reference, and a personal
statement describing research accomplishments and plans to:
John E. Coligan, Ph.D.
Senior Investigator
Laboratory of Immunogenetics
National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases
Rockville, MD 20852
(301) 496 8247 (office)
The NIH is dedicated to building
a diverse community in its training and employment programs.
