WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

ISGlobal is seeking a Postdoctoral researcher in Cellular Immunology to work on
the research projects performed by the Malaria Immunology Group. The overall
goals are to understand the mechanisms and mediators of protective immunity
induced by infection and vaccines,



and to identify biomarkers of disease and
immunity, using multidimensional clinical, epidemiological, immunological and
molecular data with biobanked peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The
position will also cover some staff scientist functions at the Core Facility of
Immune Responses and Biomarkers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

* Performing studies of biomarkers and immune correlates of protection against
malaria, NTDs, COVID-19 and other pathogens after infection or vaccination,
as well as in other studies by the Malaria Immunology group. The studies are
carried out in collaboration with multiple international research centers
(Africa, Europe, USA, Australia).

* Support to the Core Facility on the activities related to cellular immune
response analysis.

SPECIFIC DUTIES

* Formulate specific questions and hypothesis in the context of ongoing studies
in the group, and participate in grant writing proposals.
