Job Description

A postdoctoral position is available in the Tulane University Department of Pharmacology to conduct NIH-funded research on estrogen receptor signal transduction, aging, and arterial stiffening. The laboratory of Dr. Sarah Lindsey takes an integrative approach by utilizing in vitro cell culture, ex vivo isolated vessels, and in vivo analysis of rodent models. The Post-Doctoral Fellow will independently conduct experiments to determine how sex hormones impact mitochondrial function and cardiometabolic health. The Post-Doctoral Fellow should have experience with ultrasound imaging, working with rodent models, mitochondrial function techniques and should be able to collect and analyze data, compose manuscripts for publication, write and submit grants, supervise and train students in lab techniques and experiments, and help with lab maintenance and ordering of supplies. Expertise with microphysiological systems and interactions with immune and adipose tissues is an added strength.

Applicants should have a strong background in cardiovascular sciences and preference will be given to individuals with experience in the molecular signaling pathways of estrogen.

Responsibilities

• As a Post-Doctoral Fellow, you will independently conduct essential experiments to uncover how sex hormones influence mitochondrial function and cardiometabolic health. This role is ideal for a researcher eager to collaborate in a vibrant environment that includes faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates.
• We are looking for candidates with experience in ultrasound imaging, rodent models, and mitochondrial function techniques, who can proficiently collect and analyze data. Your contributions will also encompass composing manuscripts for publication, writing and submitting grant proposals, training and supervising students in laboratory techniques, and assisting with lab organization and supply management.
• A strong background in cardiometabolic and mitochondrial research.
