To join the team of Christoph Binder, we are seeking highly motivated individuals to explore immunological mechanisms in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Recent work in the laboratory suggests that B-1 cells and natural antibodies play an important role in atherogenesis (Nat Med. 2003 9:736-43; J Clin Invest. 2004 114:427-37). The projects will focus on the morphological and functional analyses of newly generated mouse models, the cellular and molecular characterization of associated immune responses, as well as the analysis of human samples.
Candidates must have a recent PhD and/or MD degree, a strong academic track record and demonstrated research productivity. Expertise in immunology, molecular biology, and in vivo mouse models is desirable.
Integration into a multidisciplinary team at CeMM of medical doctors, molecular biologists, mass spectrometricians, bioinformaticians, biochemists and chemists warrants high productivity, access to expertise and exposure to project management.
Applicants should submit: A cover letter, a curriculum vitae, names and contact details of three suggested referees. Send all documents in English referring to the code to: Anita Ender, aender@cemm.oeaw.ac.at.
