美国肯塔基大学医学院动脉粥样硬化和代谢疾病研究博士后职位

A postdoctoral position is available immediately at the University of Kentucky. The project will study the molecular mechanisms of metabolic disorders and atherosclerosis. Our laboratory mainly focuses on the role of NF-kB (J Exp Med, 2014; Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol, 2012) and nuclear receptor PXR (J Lipid Res, 2011; Environ Health Perspect, 2012; Mol Pharmacol, 2013; JAHA 2014) signaling in the pathogenesis of obesity and cardiovascular disease. Small laboratory animal models, molecular biology and biochemistry techniques are the main research approaches for these studies. Candidates should have a doctoral degree in molecular biology, biochemistry or related field, and strong background in cell culture, biochemical and molecular biology techniques and small animal model systems. Ability to work both independently and cooperatively within a team is essential.
