Job Description:
A postdoctoral position is currently available in the Ehrlich lab at the University of Texas at Austin (https://ehrlichlab.squarespace.com). A central goal of our lab is to learn how developing T cells navigate the complex cellular microenvironment in the thymus to ensure proper T cell development and central tolerance throughout the lifespan. We use a combination of approaches including 2-photon microscopy, multiplex immunofluorescent imaging, multiparameter flow cytometry, and single-cell transcriptional profiling to investigate T cell development in mouse models and patient samples.

Carry out 2-photon imaging and in vitro selection experiments (Aim 3) to determine if the perinatal thymus does not efficiently induce negative selection and if altered APC interactions contribute.
Carry out in vitro and in vivo Treg suppression assays, as well as functional assays of T cell autoreactivity.
Analyze data for all above experiments, prepare presentations on data for our group, participate in all relevant group meetings/journal clubs, coordinate data analysis with other investigators on the P01 and write manuscripts describing findings for timely dissemination to the research community.
