Postdoctoral Position: Immunology, Metabolism, and Chemical Communication

Job description

Description We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to conduct multidisciplinary research at the interface of sensory biology, chemometrics, metabolism, and immunology. Specifically, the trainee will study the identity and origins of odors arising from antigen-specific immune responses in animal models and humans in the laboratories of Bruce Kimball and Gary Beauchamp at the Monell Center. The Monell Chemical Senses Center is a nonprofit, basic research institute dedicated primarily to research in smell and taste. The Center is located on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and has close ties to Penn as well as other Universities in Philadelphia. Center research focuses on understanding how the chemical senses function and their importance in regulating behavior and physiology.
