| Position Description: |
| The Immunology Unit at Institut Pasteur du Cambodge seeks a motivated postdoctoral scientist to study adaptive immune responses to Plasmodium vivax in the framework of an NIH funded project. This project aims at understanding the host immune characteristics that are associated with protection from clinical Plasmodium vivax malaria. Our objectives are to elucidate the mechanisms driving the development of broadly inhibiting anti-Plasmodium vivax antibodies and to uncover immune pathways of protection. Accomplishment of these goals will be reached by leveraging a longitudinal Plasmodium vivax patient cohort displaying contrasted clinical outcome of infection, in combination with state-of-the art technologies on site and our ability to perform short-term cultures of Plasmodium vivax. The successful candidate will be part of a team of 8-10 international researchers and will participate in an international research project in a stimulating environment. RECRUITMENT CONDITIONS - Startdate flexible - Full time position for minimum of 2 years - Salary will be covered by the lab and will depend on the expertise of the candidate and includes an expatriate package QUALIFICATIONS - PhD degree in Immunology or closely related field - Language required: English - Expertise in human Immunology required - Expertise in human B and T cell biology is an asset - Expertise in host-pathogen (plasmodium) interaction is an asset The Cantaert lab is located at Institut Pasteur du Cambodge in Phnom Penh, and offers up-to-date infrastructures (FACSAria Fusion, single cell analysis platform, sequencing platform, BSL3 laboratory). The lab is part of the Institut Pasteur International Network and Centers of Research on Emerging Infectious Diseases Network (NIH) Publications from the lab related to the topic: Guerrero D et al, Nat Commun 2022, Bournazos et al, Science 2021; Popovici et al, Nat Commun 2021; More information can be found on https://www.pasteur-kh.org/immunology and https://www.pasteur-kh.org/malaria ; Please send your application via email with your CV including contact details of two references to Tineke Cantaert (tineke.cantaert@pasteur.fr) before October 15th, 2023. |
