Postdoctoral Research Associate I, Department of Internal Medicine (Phoenix)

The lab of Iannis Adamopoulos is seeking multiple highly motivated candidates for full-time positions as Postdoctoral Research Associates. This candidate will study the interactions of the skeletal and immune systems with special attention to bone marrow inflammation, hematopoietic cell egress and differentiation and the involvement of skin and joint inflammation in chronic autoimmunity. Strong molecular biology and cellular immunology training is essential for this position; background in bone biology would be advantageous but training will be provided. The successful postdoctoral applicants are expected to be able to work independently and be productive and collaborative with other team members. The postdoctoral candidates will benefit from the interaction with the diverse and interdisciplinary environment at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix.
