Ph3Postdoctoral Position in Peripheral Neuroscience and Neuro-Immune Interactions /h3 pUniversity of Basel ranks among the world’s one hundred best universities and boasts a top-ten place among German-speaking universities. /p pAs a joint venture of the University of Basel and the University Hospitals Basel, the Department of Biomedicine (DBM) brings together basic and clinical scientists to advance the understanding of health and disease. /p pWe are home to more than 67 research groups and over 800 employees across six locations in the heart of Basel. Our collaborative and international environment fosters innovation, excellence, and impactful research. /p pThe Cancer Neuroimmonology, led by Prof. Karen Dixon, is looking for a fully funded postdoctoral position. /p pJoin our community and help shape the future of biomedicine. /p pOur lab investigates how the nervous system shapes tissue immunity, inflammation, and cancer. Peripheral neurons are increasingly recognized as active regulators of immune responses, tissue homeostasis, and disease progression. However, the mechanisms by which peripheral neural circuits detect changes in tissue state and instruct immune cell function remain poorly understood. /p pThe successful candidate will lead an interdisciplinary project at the interface of peripheral neuroscience, immunology, and cancer. The project will investigate how peripheral neural signals regulate immune cell function within tissues and how neuro-immune communication contributes to inflammatory or tumour‑associated disease states. Approaches include neuronal tracing, in vivo disease models, genetic and viral manipulation of neuronal populations, imaging, flow cytometry, single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and functional neuro-immune assays. /p pWe are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong interest in peripheral neuroscience, neuro‑immune communication, and tissue biology. The position would be particularly well suited to candidates with expertise in peripheral neural circuits, neuronal tracing, viral or genetic manipulation of neurons, in vivo models, imaging, or computational analysis of single-cell or spatial datasets. Candidates from neuroscience and neuro‑immunology are encouraged to apply. /p pThe postdoctoral researcher will join a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment in Basel, with access to excellent core facilities and expertise in immunology, neuroscience, cancer biology, single-cell genomics, and advanced imaging. The project will be embedded in a dynamic research programme aiming to uncover how peripheral neurons shape immune responses and to identify new therapeutic opportunities by targeting neuro‑immune circuits. /p ul liA PhD in neuroscience, neuroimmunology or a related discipline /li liA strong interest in peripheral neuroscience, neuro‑immune communication, and disease biology /li liExperience with in vivo models and/or complex experimental systems /li liA track record of scientific productivity appropriate to career stage /li liThe ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment /li liStrong communication, organizational, and problem‑solving skills /li liEnthusiasm for interdisciplinary research /li /ul pExperience with neuronal tracing, viral approaches, mouse genetics, tissue imaging, flow cytometry, single-cell transcriptomics, spatial technologies, or computational analysis would be particularly advantageous. /p ul liA fully funded postdoctoral position in an internationally connected research environment /li liThe opportunity to lead an ambitious interdisciplinary project in peripheral neuroscience and neuro‑immunology /li liAccess to cutting‑edge technologies in neuronal tracing, in vivo models, imaging, flow cytometry, single-cell genomics, and spatial transcriptomics /li liClose mentorship with support for developing scientific independence, fellowship applications, and future career progression /li liOpportunities to collaborate across the Basel neuroscience, immunology, and cancer research communities /li liA supportive, ambitious, and interdisciplinary lab environment /li /ul h3Application /h3 pInterested candidates should send a single PDF containing: /p ul liA cover letter describing their research interests, relevant expertise, and motivation for applying /li liCV, including publications /li liContact details for two to three references /li liA brief statement of future research interests /li /ul h3Job details /h3 pTitle: Postdoctoral Position in Peripheral Neuroscience and Neuro‑Immune Interactions /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
