Designation:
Postdoctoral Investigator
Research Area:
Immunopathology of gut commensals, microbial translocation and host-microbe interactions
Location:
Joint position in the Morales and Cubillos-Ruiz Labs, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York City
Eligibility/Qualification:

Job Description:
The Postdoctoral Investigator will join a collaborative team at Weill Cornell Medicine to explore how gut-resident bacteria disseminate to distal organs and remodel immune responses. The role involves addressing fundamental questions in bacterial pathogenesis, immune modulation, and organ-specific immunopathology. Research methods will include high-resolution imaging, molecular biology techniques, advanced in vitro and in vivo models, and immunological assays. The investigator will dissect host-pathogen interaction pathways, study mechanisms of bacterial translocation, and examine how bacterial colonization affects immune landscapes. This position offers access to state-of-the-art core facilities and excellent career development opportunities in a highly supportive environment.
