The Myeloid Cell-Focused Tissue Immunobiology Lab, led by Prof Mariola Kurowska-Stolarska in the School of Infection and Immunity, University of Glasgow, UK has three postdoctoral positions available, funded by UKRI BBSRC, the MRC, and Arthritis UK.
We are seeking candidates with enthusiasm and appropriate expertise to lead research on the role of tissue-resident macrophages and dendritic cells in regulating tissue immune homeostasis, inflammation, and disease resolution, using the joint as a model system.
To maximise the impact of tissue discoveries, our lab follows a bedside-to-bench-and-back scientific approach, in which human and mouse research strategies are fully integrated to advance understanding of basic tissue biology and drive clinical innovation. You will be embedded in an ex vivo and in vivo experimental tissue biology lab that is closely linked with the experimental medicine tissue lab at Gemelli Hospital in Rome, led by Prof. Stefano Alivernini. This partnership enables a fully integrated basic science and translational research approach within a single project. In addition, the funded projects include collaborations at the University of Oxford. The University of Glasgow is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) and fosters a positive, empowering research environment to support the development of the next generation of scientists.
We seek candidates with expertise in areas such as tissue multi-omics and 3D tissue imaging, human tissue organoids, CAR-T cells, CRISPR–Cas9–guided gene or epigenetic editing, and inducible transgenic models targeting dendritic cells, tissue-resident macrophages, the tissue niche, and sensory neurons. In addition, to enable novel discoveries and address critical challenges, this role requires strong project leadership and a collaborative mindset.
