About the Opportunity
Job Summary
A Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Nutritional Immunology is available in Dr. Okeke's research lab at the Department of Biology at Northeastern University.
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to lead research investigating the anti-inflammatory properties of a bioactive peptide. The project sits at the intersection of nutrition, immunology, and the gut microbiome, with the goal of defining how dietary-derived peptides modulate immune function and inflammation.
The successful candidate will characterize peptide bioactivity in vitro and in vivo, dissect peptide-immune cell interactions, and examine how the peptide shapes the gut microbiome.
The anticipated start of this position is September 2026, with yearly renewals based upon funding and performance. Applications will continue to be accepted until the position is filled. This position will be based in the Okeke Lab and will report to lab Director Dr. Emeka Okeke. The position involves working on multiple projects in an active research laboratory.
