Job Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist with expertise in molecular metabolic pathways including autophagy mitophagy mitochondrial biogenesis and inflammation in megakaryocytes and platelets. Experience investigating epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer tissues particularly in the context of metabolic adaptations to altered autophagic activity is required. The candidate is expected to work closely with the PI laboratory staff and collaborators and to demonstrate strong communication and interpersonal skills.
The project aims to define how inflammation alters the hemostatic function of megakaryocytes and platelets. We will integrate transgenic cancer and inflammation-induced mouse models with studies of primary blood samples from healthy donors and patients with diverse inflammatory conditions
The successful candidate will work closely with laboratory staff graduate students and undergraduate trainees to plan and supervise several parallel lines of investigation focused on inflammation-induced alterations in platelet and megakaryocyte function. These studies will integrate transgenic cancer and inflammation-induced murine models with analyses of primary human blood samples.
The candidate will be expected to independently advance projects contribute to manuscript preparation and apply for postdoctoral fellowships. The ideal candidate will have experience with R programming multi-omics data analysis and working with murine models. Prior experience in platelet biology immunometabolism or related fields is a plus. Creative big-picture thinking technical precision and dedication to academic research are essential.
Required Education and ExperienceDoctorate degree (PhD/DVM/MD) in specialty area from an accredited university training using basic research techniques of specialty area.
