A Postdoctoral Fellow Positions is available within the Division of Immunology at Boston Children’s Hospital to spearhead studies on the pathogenesis of juvenile arthritis. This position is ideal for candidates interested in translational immunology research. A minimum two-year commitment is required.

The research project will focus on identifying biomarkers that predict disease course and treatment response in patients with juvenile arthritis through detailed immunophenotyping studies.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will also have the opportunity to participate in patient based research in a pediatric setting and learn the intricacies of maintaining a biorepository.

The applicant should have a PhD or MD with substantial laboratory/translational research experience related to immunology, molecular/cellular biology, and/or bioinformatics. The ideal candidate should have a track record of productivity and an ability to work independently. The Postdoctoral Fellow should also be able to collaborate with others, interact with pediatric patients, and function as a member of a research team. Potential for partial self-funding is welcome but not essential.
