Responsibilities:

The laboratory of Dr. Meng Zhao in the Arthritis and Clinical Immunology Research Program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow/Assistant Staff Scientist to investigate the metabolic regulation of T cells in the pathogenesis of human diseases.
The fellow’s project focuses on understanding the mechanistic interaction between metabolic remodeling and immune functions during the development of autoimmune, infectious diseases or cancer. The postdoctoral fellow will work with cutting edge resources including spectral flowcytometry, high resolution microscopy, novel genetically modified mouse models, metabolomic analysis, and single cell transcriptomic analysis.

OMRF has made The Scientist magazine’s annual list of the “Best Places to Work for Postdocs” for many years. Arthritis and Clinical Immunology Program is the home base for one of only 10 Autoimmune Centers of Excellence (ACE) in the US. Apart from the close mentorship from Dr. Zhao, the fellow will benefit from departmental journal clubs, seminar series, and the expertise from diverse approaches in the program and the institute.
Moreover, OMRF postdoc training committee and postdoc association will provide additional resource and advice. Our collective goal is to help make the training experience at OMRF productive and successful.
