The Group and Projects:
The Immune-Microbiota Interactions Laboratory investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms of host-microbiota interactions in immune-mediated diseases. The group explores in particular basic mechanisms of immunologic tolerance in the context of the gut, skin, and other mucosal microbiota. The lab has previously investigated this field at Yale University (https://medicine.yale.edu/lab/kriegel/) before relocating to the University of Münster, Germany. The lab has recently identified several pathobionts in autoimmunity (Vieira et al, Science 2018; Greiling et al, Sci Transl Med 2018; Ruff et al, Cell Host Microbe 2019; Zegarra-Ruiz et al, Cell Host Microbe 2019) that are being studied in more depth. The lab is highly interdisciplinary and uses human tissue, organoid, and murine gnotobiotic approaches coupled with next-generation human microbiome sequencing to identify commensal triggers in autoimmunity and cancer. Techniques span a broad range from immunology, cell and molecular biology to microbiology including gnotobiotics and metagenomics.

The Group Leader is expected to develop further these basic and translational research projects, supervise new trainees, coordinate international collaborations, and oversee laboratory compliance as well as funding and publication strategies.
The Immune-Microbiota Interactions Laboratory is affiliated with the Section of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology at the University Hospital of Münster and the Institute of Experimental Musculoskeletal Medicine. It is located adjacent to the Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine and partly housed in the Center for Molecular Biology of Inflammation.

Prerequisites:
Applicants will have successfully completed a PhD or MD/PhD in a related field with additional 3 years of training in one of the areas described in this posting.

We are looking for highly motivated applicants with experience in microbiome and immunology research, strong interpersonal and leadership skills, outstanding communication skills, and the capacity to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Requirements:
Gnotobiotics and immunology skills are a prerequisite.
Experience in molecular biology, mammalian and microbial cell culture, team and project management as well as regulatory protocols would be an advantage.
