What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Multiple Sclerosis, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Multiple Sclerosis, you need an advanced degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent) in neuroscience, immunology, or a related biomedical field, with a strong background in experimental design and data analysis. Familiarity with laboratory techniques such as cell culture, flow cytometry, imaging, and use of statistical software (e.g., R, SPSS) is typically required, along with a track record of scientific publications. Excellent problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills are vital for collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and sharing research findings. These skills and qualifications are crucial for advancing research, contributing novel insights, and driving progress in understanding and treating multiple sclerosis.

What types of interdisciplinary collaboration can a Postdoctoral Multiple Sclerosis researcher expect, and how does it impact daily work?

As a Postdoctoral Multiple Sclerosis researcher, you will frequently collaborate with neurologists, immunologists, data scientists, and clinical trial coordinators. These interdisciplinary interactions are integral to designing experiments, analyzing patient data, and translating findings into clinical applications. Regular meetings and joint projects with diverse teams not only broaden your scientific perspective but also enhance your ability to approach complex problems from multiple angles. This collaborative environment fosters both professional growth and the development of a robust research network.

What is a Postdoctoral Multiple Sclerosis researcher?

A Postdoctoral Multiple Sclerosis researcher is a scientist who has completed their doctoral studies and is engaged in advanced research focused on multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system. These researchers work in academic, clinical, or industry settings to investigate the causes, progression, and treatment of MS. Their work may involve laboratory experiments, clinical trials, data analysis, and publishing findings to advance understanding and therapies for MS. Postdoctoral researchers often collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to grant applications, mentorship, and scientific communication.

Job description

Molecular Immunology and Functional Genomics of Lupus
The Nath Lab at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) seeks an outstanding Postdoctoral Scientist or Assistant Staff Scientist to join our multidisciplinary research team investigating the molecular mechanisms through which non-coding genetic variants identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) contribute to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases.

This position is ideal for a highly motivated molecular biologist with strong expertise in immunology who is interested in applying cutting-edge genomic technologies and artificial intelligence to elucidate the functional consequences of disease-associated genetic variation.

Research Program
Genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of genetic loci associated with SLE and other autoimmune diseases, and the vast majority of risk variants are located in non-coding regions of the genome. The central challenge is determining how these variants influence gene regulation and immune cell function.

Our laboratory integrates computational genomics, molecular biology, functional genomics, and immunology to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying disease-associated variants. We investigate multiple regulatory mechanisms, including: enhancer and promoter activity, alternative RNA splicing (sQTLs), gene expression regulation (eQTLs), chromatin accessibility and epigenetic regulation, and three-dimensional chromatin interactions.

Responsibilities
The successful candidate will:

  • Functionally characterize non-coding GWAS variants associated with SLE and related autoimmune diseases.
  • Design and perform molecular biology experiments to determine how regulatory variants alter gene function.
  • Perform assays including:
    • Reporter gene (luciferase) assays
    • Minigene splicing assays
    • CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing (knockout, knock-in, CRISPRi, CRISPRa)
    • Gene expression analyses (RT-qPCR, RNA-seq)
    • Protein expression analyses (Western blot)
    • Chromatin and regulatory assays
  • Culture and manipulate human immune cell lines and primary immune cells.
  • Perform immunological assays including flow cytometry, T-cell activation, cytokine profiling, proliferation, apoptosis, and related functional studies.
  • Collaborate with computational biologists to integrate GWAS, functional genomics, and AI-based genomic predictions.
  • Analyze experimental data and contribute to publications and grant applications.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in a biological science, chemistry, physics or other relevant area, M.D., or equivalent.

The successful candidate should demonstrate:

  • Strong experimental skills in molecular biology
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively
  • Strong publication record appropriate for career stage

Preferred Qualifications

Applicants should have expertise in several of the following areas:

  • Molecular biology
  • Immunology
  • Functional genomics
  • Human genetics
  • CRISPR genome editing
  • Cell culture of mammalian and immune cells
  • RNA biology and gene regulation
  • Flow cytometry
  • Next-generation sequencing
  • Bioinformatics or computational biology (preferred but not required)

Programming experience in R or Python is advantageous.
