The Villalta lab at the University of California Irvine is looking for a postdoctoral fellow with experience in single-cell RNA sequencing methods and bioinformatic analysis. Our our research has made significant contributions to our understanding of the role of immune system in tissue injury and regeneration. We are currently using mouse genetics, flow cytometry, histological techniques, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) methods to study immune cell populations and their role in degenerative disease. Further details about our research can be found at the following page: http://www.immunology.uci.edu/profiles/villalta-armando.asp

We are seeking an individual who is passionate, works well in teams, a self-starter, can independently trouble shoot, and has an exemplary track record of academic performance. The candidate will work on a line of investigation focused on defining the interplay between regulatory T cells and skeletal muscle macrophage during muscle regeneration, and determine the functional significance of this interaction. Competitive candidates should have experience in immunology and a strong computational background with experience in the analysis of scRNAseq data.
