美国纽约大学博士后职位–牙科学院分子病理生物学系

Applications are invited for a full time Postdoctoral Associate (Research Scientist) position in a well-funded laboratory at the New York University’s College of Dentistry. The laboratory is highly focused on studying succinate signaling in health and disease. The related work has been published in Nature Communications and Cell Reports. Studies from the group suggested a central role of succinate signaling via its receptor as well as an intermediate metabolite in the interplay among microbiota, metabolism and host immune response in oral cavity, gut, bone marrow and brain in pathological conditions such as aging and diabetes. The laboratory utilizes approaches involving cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, histology in conjunction with transgenic and surgical interventions in mice. In this position, the incumbent will to study the role of succinate signaling in host and microbiome interactions.

We are seeking creative, productive and highly motivated individuals who want to work in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary, and diverse research environment and gain experiences in developing independent research projects.

Applicants for this position must hold a PhD or MD/PhD degree, with less than 3 years of postdoctoral experience. Preferred expertise includes animal handling and injections (such as gavage and Intracerebroventricular injection), primary cultures, quantitative data analysis, major biochemistry and cell biology techniques related to host immune response and/or neurophysiology.

Qualified candidates should have:

• A Ph.D. in Biology, Immunology, Molecular Biology or a related field.
• Excellent experimental, scientific writing and organization skills.
