Job Description Principal Investigator, Ivan Vujkovic-Cvijin, PhD, is looking for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team! The Vujkovic-Cvijin Laboratory exists within the Cedars-Sinai Inflammatory Bowel and Immunology Research Institute (IBIRI), which focuses on chronic inflammatory conditions of the intestines, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The gastroenterology and gastrointestinal (GI) surgery program at Cedars-Sinai is the No. 2 program nationwide, facilitating groundbreaking science aimed at understanding human gastrointestinal medical conditions. To learn more, please visit Vujkovic-Cvijin Research Lab | Cedars-Sinai . The Vujkovic-Cvijin Laboratory studies the role of the gut microbiota ??? the community of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protists that inhabit our gut ??? in inflammatory diseases. The laboratory demonstrates novel computational ( Vujkovic-Cvijin et al. 2020, Nature, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2881-9 ) and experimental ( Vujkovic-Cvijin et al. 2021, biorXiv, DOI: 10.1101/2021.08.17.456549 ) methodologies to identify disease-promoting gut microbes, to unlock how they contribute to inflammatory disease, and to develop tools to edit the microbiota to remove such disease-causing constituents. We use a combination of microbiome science, computational biology, and immunology to understand host-microbe relationships within this complex system and especially in inflammatory bowel disease. Our goal is to move discoveries out of laboratories and into effective novel treatments. Are you ready to be a part of breakthrough research? Working independently but in close cooperation and consultation with Dr. Vujkovic-Cvijin and other Research scientists, the Postdoctoral Scientist will perform routine and complex laboratory procedures throughout the training period.
