Postdoc Scientist at Columbia University Medical Center

A postdoctoral position is available starting in January 2025 in the group of Dr. Remi Creusot at the Columbia Center for Translational Immunology (CCTI) to participate in research investigating the pathophysiology and therapy of Type 1 diabetes (T1D).  The research will focus primarily on two of our funded projects: one on evaluating new in vivo models for recapitulating aspects of human T1D to study immune tolerance and disease pathology, the other on conducting advanced preclinical studies with antigen-specific immunotherapy. This position offers a unique opportunity to work in a highly multidisciplinary environment interfacing immunology, diabetes and immunoengineering.

The CCTI connects multiple basic and clinical departments and other research centers within Columbia University Medical Center; it was established to promote horizontal translation of applied immunology between different disciplines and to advance immunology from the bench to the clinic. The Creusot lab is also affiliated with the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center, providing access to renowned diabetes experts.

The candidate should have a recent PhD in Immunology, Molecular Medicine or related field (and/or MD) with a proven track record of productivity (first authorship in peer-reviewed journal in English is preferred). In addition, the successful candidate will demonstrate creativity, strong work ethics, motivation and ability to handle multiple projects and to work in a highly collaborative environment, as well as excellent written and verbal communication skills. Experience with flow cytometry and in vitro immunoassays, animal procedures (including surgery), isolation and culture of immune cells is highly desirable.

Salary Range: $71,050 or commensurate with experience. The salary of the finalist selected for this role will be set based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to departmental budgets, qualifications, experience, education, licenses, specialty and training.  The above hiring range represents the University’s good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible compensation at the time of posting. Columbia University Medical Center, located in uptown Manhattan, provides a world-class scientific environment for outstanding training. Columbia University is an Equal Opportunity Employer/Disability/Veteran.

Applicants should send a full CV, a one-page cover letter highlighting research interests and goals, and the name and contact details of 3 references directly to the Principal Investigator at: rjc2150@columbia.edu.
