September 30, 2019Antigen recognition by the T cell receptor (TCR) is a hallmark of the adaptive immune system. T cells recognize antigens on the surface of antigen presenting cells, but how antigen recognition leads to TCR signaling and activation responses is not clear. A key criterion in signaling is the spatial organization of the TCR on the highly dynamic topology of the T cell plasma membrane. In this project, we aim to image and analyze the T cell membrane with super-resolution fluorescence microscopy techniques such as 3-dimensional single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM, e.g. PALM, dSTORM, PAINT) and lattice lightsheet microscopy.Minimum Requirements:A PhD in cell biology, (bio)physics, (bio)chemistry, or related science.Experience in advanced fluorescence microscopy and image analysis.Knowledge of receptor signalling, cellular immunology, and/or molecular biology is highly desirable.The postdoctoral position is a full-time 1-year position with strong prospects for a 2-year extension. Salary range is A$91,743-A$98,127 per year plus 9.5% superannuation and leave loading. Applications including CV, contact details of referees, and cover letter should be emailed to Prof Katharina Gaus (k.gaus@unsw.edu.au) before
