美国南佛罗里达大学博士后职位招聘–生物化学，微生物学，分子生物学，免疫学或相关领域
POSITION SUMMARY:
Postdoctoral fellow position is available in the lab of Dr. Dazhi Wang at the USF Health Heart Institute in the newly created Center for Regenerative Medicine. Interested candidates will work with lab members on one or more exciting research projects in the lab investigating the molecular mechanisms that regulate muscle development and growth, and their role in human disease. The lab employs mouse cardic and skeletal muscle models, as well as tissue culture. Ongoing projects include studies into the transcriptional regulation and the roles of non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long-coding RNAs (incRNAs), in the regulation of gene expression in normal and diseased cardiovascular systems. Building on these studies, projects to investigate new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of cardiovascular disease are envisioned.
Postdoctoral fellows are expected to develop projects together with the PI (Dr. Wang). Postdocs are expected to demonstrate independence in the design, oversight, and implementation of the daily activities required for the conduct of the research program with guidance from the PI as needed. The PI will work with the postdocs to ensure their career development and has an excellent record of trainees that have transitioned to successful academic and industry positions.
Candidates are encouraged to review the published studies from the lab prior to applying (see link below):

DUTIES:
- Independent project design with PI guidance
- Designs and performs experiments (including bench-level work, typically molecular biology, cell biology, cell biology/tissue culture, protein chemistry)
- Will assist with mouse colony breeding and animal experiments/surgery
- Operates and assists with maintenance of equipment
- Assists with training of colleagues as needed
- Maintains records of experimentation in compliance with NIH requirements
- Collection, organization, and analysis of data for presentation and publication (with PI)
- Manuscript preparation based on data generation, analysis, and interpretation
- Participation in lab meetings, journal clubs, grant writing and manuscript/grant reviews
- Assist with other research-related tasks as needed
- Collaborate with other scientists, within the lab and institution as well as at other locations, to advance team goals
- As part of a team, will work towards advancing your own career goals
QUALIFICATIONS (Education & Experience):
Minimum Qualifications:
Doctoral degree from an accredited institution in biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, immunology, or related field. Must meet university criteria for appointment to the rank of Postdoctoral Fellow.
Preferred Qualifications:
It is preferred that the candidate have experience in the submission of manuscripts with a strong publication record and the ability to manage numerous research studies simultaneously. The applicant should also be comfortable handling animals and prior experience with mouse procedures and tissue culturing would be an asset. Bioinformatics and metagenomics training is also preferred.
