Postdoctoral Fellow – Systemic Autoimmunity Department of Dermatology University of Massachusetts Medical School   Postdoctoral Position in Autoimmune Skin Disease The Dermatology Department at UMass Medical School invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral position in the area of autoimmune skin diseases working directly with newly appointed Chair, Dr. John Harris. Dr. Harris is an ideal mentor as he is not only an expert in autoimmune skin disease, but he has also identified new treatment options for patients through his translational research program and is currently establishing clinical trials. Qualified candidates should have experience working with both mouse models of autoimmune skin disease as well as human cells/tissues. Basic experience or understanding of informatics/computational biology is preferred.  Review of applications will begin immediately.  Responsibilities:  Generate hypotheses, design and execute experiments, as well as interpret results to explore the following topics: Validation and hypothesis-testing of pathways detected in affected skin of patients identified using existing -omics data, including data generated using single cell RNAseq, proteomics, metabolomics, and other platforms; work closely with computational biologists to identify and prioritize pathways for this work; design projects with a focus on developing potential treatments to treat disease. Expectations also include preparation of oral presentations for program/department research in progress meetings, submission of abstracts for poster and oral presentations at national/international meetings, and oversight of technician and/or student working on related projects. Requirements: Highly motivated with a PhD in Immunology, Informatics, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or related discipline. Working knowledge of cellular immunology, T cell activity, cytokine biology, and innate immune pathways. Hands-on laboratory experience in relevant methodologies, trouble-shooting technical problems, and data analysis skills. Experience in computational biology is preferred.  Experience in the following techniques preferred:  handling/injecting/genotyping mice, preparation of lymphoid and dermal/epidermal tissues for histology, isolation and cell culture of lymphocyte populations, multicolor flow cytometry, DNA/RNA purification and quantification, qPCR, enzyme-based immunoassays, and immunofluorescent/confocal microscopy, database comparisons.

GENERAL SUMMARY OF POSITION:   The Shank lab is a collaborative, inclusive group that values the diverse personal identities and professional paths of its members. We study the chemical and physical interactions of microbes with each other and their hosts. We are broadly interested in how bacteria and fungi within natural systems interact and how their metabolic activities influence their hosts and higher ecosystem‐level processes. We are fascinated by the fact that microbes are able to generate and secrete chemical cues (known as specialized or secondary metabolites) that can act as interspecies signals to influence the physiology and metabolism of their microbial neighbors, and thus contribute to the stability and functioning of complex microbial communities. Our research dissects these microbial interactions using traditional microbiology, fluorescent coculture, bioinformatics, mass spectrometry imaging, and native-like microcosms. We aim to define how microbial specialized metabolites impact bacterial cellular differentiation, discover chemical tools to kill and modulate pathogens, and visualize microbial interactions at the single-cell level. In doing so, we are gaining insights into microbial ecology. We are also identifying novel bioactive compounds as potential therapeutics and chemical tools to achieve our long-term goal of manipulating microbial systems to improve host health and the environment.   There is the possibility of part-time hours for this position, but no less than 20 hours per week.   Under the direction of the Principal Investigator or designee, the Research Associate I performs a variety of complex research experiments.
