As part of a translational neuroimmunology research project led by Dr. K. Egervari in Professor D. Merkler’s laboratory, the Department of Pathology and Immunology at the University of Geneva—affiliated with the Division of Clinical Pathology at the Geneva University Hospitals—is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher (80%–100%) This research group focuses on the immunological processes involved in infectious and autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system, with an emphasis on neuronal alterations. As part of the proposed project, the postdoctoral researcher will investigate how immune-mediated neuronal damage leads to long-term alterations in neural circuits and epileptogenesis, using our unique and well-established mouse model of encephalitis (the “déjà vu” viral model), and will evaluate targeted anti-inflammatory interventions in chronic inflammation-induced epilepsy. More specifically, the project incorporates the following approaches:

Requested profile and qualifications:

Experience in one or more of the following areas would be an asset: analysis of electrophysiological and flow cytometry datasets; behavioral studies in rodents; histology and immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence; flow cytometry; image analysis and quantitative microscopy; programming (MATLAB, , and/or R); cell culture and molecular biology techniques Research environment: The project led by Dr. K. Egervari is affiliated with Professor Doron Merkler’s laboratory, an internationally renowned research group specializing in neuroimmunology, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration, which maintains numerous national and international collaborations and provides an ideal environment for interdisciplinary and translational research in the neurosciences. It is part of an international collaboration aimed at studying T-cell-targeted therapies for the treatment of autoimmune limbic encephalitis and ’s encephalitis using validated rodent models, coordinated by the T-CARE successful candidate will be supervised by PD Dr. Egervari (neuropathologist, principal investigator of the project, member of the T-CARE consortium) at the University Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine at the University of Geneva, and will have access to an exceptional research infrastructure, including facilities dedicated to animal experimentation, stereotactic surgery, chronic electrophysiology, behavioral phenotyping, state-of-the-art microscopy, flow cytometry, neuropathology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics support. This position also offers a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between experimental neuroscience and human neuropathology.
