Seeking highly motivated, self-starter with ability to work with little direct supervision. Join my lab and explore pathogenic mechanisms of systemic autoimmunity in American Indian tribal members. The successful candidate will participate in one or more of the following aspects of our research: understanding environmental influences in complex autoimmune diseases, identify and characterize new autoantibodies in patients with overlapping autoimmune diseases, and elucidate the role of autoantibodies in disease pathogenesis in American Indians. Immediate opportunities exist for writing papers, analyzing data and helping oversee technical personnel. Experience in humoral autoimmunity, clinical immunology, data analysis and/or clinical rheumatology would be useful for the successful applicant. Educational opportunities in clinical immunology, environmental science, project management, and scientific writing would be included for the appropriate trainee.
