Position Overview

Erdogan Lab, NIH-funded research laboratory in the Department of Translational Dental Medicine at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join an interdisciplinary research program investigating how neuro-immune responses and interactions shape pain, infection, and tissue repair in barrier tissues in the oral cavity.

The lab operates at the interface of neurobiology, immunology, and microbiology, combining in vivo disease models, systems-level profiling, and translational approaches. Our goal is to define how sensory neurons respond and interact with immune and microbial signals in dental and oral tissues and to translate these insights into minimally invasive therapies and pain management strategies. Erdogan Lab is located within the Boston University Medical Campus and is highly collaborative, with active partnerships across Boston's leading academic and medical 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 inflammation, and utilize chemogenetic 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 Skills

Comfortable with (or eager to learn) in vivo biology and complex experimental systems

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in one or more of the following areas:
