The Center of Research on Inflammatory Diseases – CRID, located at University of São
Paulo in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, is taking applications for a postdoctoral research
position to join a project financed by FAPESP with collaboration of Brazilian National
Bioscience Laboratory from the National Center of Energy and Materials (Campinas,
SP).
The highly motivated candidate should have taken his/her Ph.D. degree within the past
4 years in one of the following areas: Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Molecular and
Cellular Biology, Immunology, and areas related to drug discovery or similar fields.
The candidate must have experience in cell culture techniques, biochemical and
molecular assays, as well as in vivo models of inflammation and/or pain.Excellent oral
and written communication skills are required.
Please submit your complete application by 05/10/2023 (cover letter, CV and 2
recommendation letters) to Thiago Mattar Cunha (crid@fmrp.usp.br)

Research
Inflammatory diseases constitute a complex and heterogeneous group of diseases, being
an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In this project, we intend to develop
translational research in the field of Inflammatory Diseases. In addition, the association
with chemists with training in molecular modeling and synthesis of molecules will
allow the development of new drugs for the treatment of diseases, such as:
1) chronic neuropathic pain;
2) autoimmune inflammatory diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis)
3) Infectious (Sepsis, COVID-19)
The development of the project will allow the development of new molecules that
modulate the activity of biological targets involved in the aforementioned inflammatory
diseases. For this, in vitro and in vivo studies will be carried out with molecules already
identified in screening tests.
