Position Summary
The Jarjour laboratory at Versiti Blood Research Institute is recruiting a Research Technologist II. Our laboratory was recently funded by a 5 year NIAID DP2 award. Our group focuses on tissue-resident immunity, which supports organ homeostasis and acts as a first line of defense against pathogens, tumors, and other dangers. Remarkably, resident leukocytes are locally maintained independent of the circulating immune system, allowing them to become uniquely adapted to their home tissue and positioning them as key players in organ homeostasis. We seek to understand how resident immunity is maintained and how it evolves throughout life to enable new therapeutic interventions in human disease.
Our lab is collaborative and founded on respect, empowering every person to achieve their goals and to embrace curiosity as we explore the immune system. It works to develop, improve, and implement laboratory techniques and performs complex experiments and/or tests to contribute to the timely and accurate completion of the research project(s).
