Erdogan Lab at Boston University Medical Campus is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join an NIH-funded interdisciplinary research program investigating how neuro-immune responses and interactions shape pain, infection, and tissue repair in barrier tissues in the oral cavity.
Erdogan Lab, in the Department of Translational Dental Medicine at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, operates at the interface of neurobiology, immunology, and microbiology, combining in vivo disease models, genetic and chemogenetic manipulations, systems-level profiling, advanced imaging, and translational approaches.
Our overarching goal is to define how sensory neurons respond to and interact with immune and microbial signals in dental and oral tissues and to translate these insights into pain management strategies and minimally invasive therapies. Erdogan Lab is highly collaborative, with active partnerships across Boston's leading academic and research institutions.
Key Responsibilities
Design, execute, and lead independent and collaborative, hypothesis-driven research at the intersection of neuroimmunology and oral biology
Utilize in vivo models of dental injury, infection, and chemogentic approaches
Integrate molecular, cellular, and systems-level approaches (e.g., flow cytometry, imaging, transcriptomics)
Analyze complex datasets, including transcriptomic and microbiome data
Lead projects from experimental design through publication
Mentor trainees and contribute to a dynamic, team-oriented lab environment
Required Qualifications
PhD, MD/DDS/PhD or equivalent doctoral degree in immunology, neuroscience, microbiology, oral biology, or a related discipline
Ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team
A creative and rigorous scientist with a strong track record of research productivity
Excited to tackle mechanistic, translational, cross-disciplinary questions
Comfortable with (or eager to learn) in vivo biology and complex experimental systems
Preferred: Experience in neuroimmunology, pain biology, host-microbe interactions, imaging, or transcriptomics
Boston University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to building a diverse and inclusive academic community.
