Salary will be commensurate with experience and based on the NIH scale.

　　Job Requirements

　　1) To conduct laboratory experiments including: 1) studies of antibody specificity and isolation and characterization of mucosal B-cells from human tissue and 2) the mechanistic study of epithelial cells at air liquid interface, molecular genetic manipulation of epithelial cells using lentiviral or CRISPR/Cas9 approaches, and single cell RNA-seq analysis

　　2) To help write grants and compete for funding

　　3) To supervise students and other techs working in the immunology lab

　　4) To help write, present and contribute to publications resulting from research done in the lab
