Postdoctoral Researcher in MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin

JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: One or more full time
postdoctoral positions are available immediately for highly motivated
postdoctoral scholars interested in vascular or neural mechanisms in
blood pressure control related to hypertension in the laboratory of Dr.
Curt D. Sigmund in the Department of Physiology at the Medical College
of Wisconsin (MCW). A qualified candidate for this position is expected
to have a strong publication record and excellent references from PhD or
postdoctoral research. A notable feature of this postdoctoral fellowship
will be experience in combining state-of-the-art genetic and molecular
methods (including CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing) with sophisticated
physiologic techniques to address fundamental mechanisms of vascular and
neural function in genetically modified mouse models in hypertension.
Proficiency in physiology or pharmacology and experience with genetics
and molecular biology is highly desired. Potential project includes:1)
examining genomic interactions regulating PPAR target gene expression in
vascular smooth muscle and endothelium, 2) physiological, and proteomic
analysis of Cullin-3 adaptors and substrates in vascular smooth muscle
and endothelium, and 3) relative role of angiotensin II receptor G
protein and -arrestin signaling related to fluid homeostasis, metabolic
function and blood pressure. The successful applicants can be expected
to use sophisticated tools in physiological genomics utilizing cell and
primary culture, and organ and whole mouse physiology. They will work in
a multidisciplinary team with a diversity of interests, ideas, and
experiences. You will need to upload a single PDF attachment
containing 1) a cover letter indicating your research interests, 2) CV
including list of all publications, and 3) list of 3 or more references
who can be immediately contacted without further permission.
Characteristics of a postdoctoral appointment: It is expected that
postdocs at MCW, with the assistance of their supervisor, will:
Transition to career independence through the development of
professional skills that enable the postdoc to actively pursue a career
of his/her own choosing. Be supervised by at least one senior scholar
who actively promotes the postdoc’s professional development. Establish
an individual development plan (IDP) that incorporates equally the
postdoc’s career and training goals and the mentor’s research goals.
Pursue basic, clinical, or translational projects so long as effort is
focused primarily on research. Publish results of the postdoc’s
research and scholarship during their appointment. The postdoctoral
appointment is… For full info follow application link. EEO/AA
