The Ray Lab at Benaroya Research Institute (BRI) in Seattle, WA is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate in the areas of immunology and genomics.
BRI is an internationally recognized medical research institute focused on finding cures for autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases. We stress excellence in advanced laboratory experimentation and carefully designed translational research programs. This offers our scientists the opportunity to directly impact the lives of people suffering from diseases including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, allergies, and asthma.
The Ray lab studies how human genetic variation, epigenetic states, and non-coding regulatory regions in immune cells alter susceptibility to autoimmune diseases.
Responsibilities
Potential projects in the Ray Lab may focus on:
- Investigating relevant genomic states in immune cells that promote disease or confer response to treatment.
- Identifying regulatory regions important to immune cell function in mice and humans.
- Determining the effect of disease-causal genetic variants on non-coding regulatory region activity in immune cells.
Requirements
A Ph.D. in immunology, genetics, or bioengineering is required.
- Experience with methods and models below preferred:
- CRISPR RNPs, CRISPR interference, CRISPR activation, base editing
- Massively parallel reporter assays
- Experience working with patient samples
- Experience working with mice
- Microscopy and flow cytometry
- Epigenetics and transcriptomics
- Genotype-phenotype correlation
- Statistics/bioinformatics
