About the Role
We are seeking an ambitious Postdoctoral Scientist to join our dynamic, diverse, and inclusive team that embraces positive research culture. The Rehwinkel group is at the forefront of research into nucleic acid sensing by cytosolic innate immune receptors.
Our research focuses on the molecular biology of activation and regulation of innate immune receptors that survey the cytosol. We use a variety of virus infection models including influenza A virus, HIV and other retroviruses, flaviviruses such as Zika virus, SARS-CoV-2 and herpesviruses. In addition, we are studying the role of nucleic acid sensing in inflammatory diseases and in cancer. We are particularly interested in RIG-I-like receptors and cytosolic DNA receptors such as cGAS. Furthermore, we are interested in SAMHD1 and ADAR1, which restrict virus infection and are also linked to Aicardi-Goutières syndrome – an autoinflammatory disease driven by interferons.
Jan Rehwinkel actively supports all members of the group to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Informal inquiries should be directed to Jan Rehwinkel (jan.rehwinkel@imm.ox.ac.uk).
