Postdoctoral Fellow - Coler Lab - Seattle Children's

There is strong evidence that underrepresentation is an important problem that the health research enterprise must address (see Women, Minorities and Persons With Disabilities in Science and Engineering (https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf21321/) ). Fostering diversity by addressing underrepresentation in the research workforce is consistent with Seattle Children's vision and values (https://www.seattlechildrens.org/about/mission-vision-values/) . A fully supported Postdoctoral Scholar position is available in the *Seattle Tuberculosis Research Advancement Center (SEATRAC) to characterize immune response of novel vaccines and immune pathology associated with tuberculosis and co-morbidities. Previous experience in cellular immunology, including multiparametric flow cytometry, is required. This Postdoctoral position provides the time, funding, mentorship, experience and training necessary to foster the early career development of the next generation of researchers. The postdoctoral fellow will receive funding, focused mentoring, experience and training in laboratory and clinical settings and will develop expertise in the assessment of vaccine mediated immune responses and systems immunology. A key aspect will include combining information from multiple levels such as genes, proteins, and whole cells to gain a clear, multi-scale understanding of vaccine function during infection and disease.
