Job Description

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Geoffroy Laumet (https://www.laumetpainlab.com/) in the Department of Physiology at Michigan State University. The Laumet Lab investigates neuro-immune interactions that regulate the transition from acute to chronic pain, with a particular focus on how immune cells interact with sensory neurons to promote pain resolution. The laboratory integrates preclinical models and human translational research approaches. As examples, please see Sim, Science Immunology 2026; de Souza, PAIN, 2025; de Souza, Brain Behav Imm, 2024; Inyang, PAIN, 2024.

Responsibilities include:

Designing and conducting independent and collaborative research projects related to neuro-immune and pain mechanisms.
Performing experiments using mouse models.
Applying molecular, cellular, and immunological techniques, including flow cytometry, imaging, and genomic approaches (e.g., single-cell RNA-seq).
Analyzing and interpreting experimental data and maintaining accurate research records.
Preparing manuscripts for publication and contributing to grant applications.
Presenting research findings at lab meetings, seminars, and scientific conferences.
Assisting with training and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students in the laboratory.
The Laumet Lab offers a collaborative and supportive environment with strong mentorship and opportunities for career development.

This is a full-time off-date position funded for one year from date of hire with possible extension contingent upon funding renewal and satisfactory performance. The duties to be performed by this position require in-person presence in East Lansing, MI, and they are not compatible with remote work.
