Position Summary: 

The Laboratory of Neuroimmunology at the University Hospital of Lausanne (https://www.chuv.ch/fr/neurologie/nlg-home/recherche/axes-de-recherche/neuro-immunologie/laboratory-of-neuroimmunology) is primarily devoted to research in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We are studying the interaction between the immune response, and environmental factors, in particular, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). To extend our understanding of autoimmunity in central nervous system (CNS) disorders including MS , we have developed a unique autologous model using human induced pluripotent stem cells derived CNS cells. We are now seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral researcher to join our team to specifically investigate the role of autoreactive CD8+ T cells in the MS pathogenesis, with an emphasis on their interactions with central nervous system (CNS) cells and EBV infection. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work with cutting-edge techniques and contribute to discoveries in the field of neuroimmunology.
