The Song/Knechtle Lab at the Duke Transplant Center, part of Duke University School of Medicine, is hiring a postdoctoral researcher to study HLA-specific B-cell responses in transplant patients. The research focuses on understanding
how the immune system recognizes donor HLA molecules by analyzing rare antigen-specific B cells, their function, genetics, and role in transplant rejection. The lab has developed advanced tools for identifying and characterizing rare B cells, with the broader goal of improving transplant risk assessment and graft outcomes. The position requires a PhD in immunology or a related field, with strong experience in
molecular and cellular biology, molecular biology–related bioinformatics, flow cytometry, and cell culture. The candidate should be highly motivated, organized, and capable of managing multiple projects and supervising technicians in a fast-paced research environment. The role offers close mentorship from Dr. Song and senior investigators, with an emphasis on developing scientific independence, publishing
first-author papers, and preparing for academic or industry careers. Be Bold. A postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the Song/Knechtle Lab at the Duke Transplant Center, Duke University School of Medicine. Our research focuses on understanding humoral allorecognition by profiling allogeneic HLA-specific B-cell responses in sensitized transplant candidates. We aim to define the phenotype,
