Post Doctoral.Post Doctoral.Associate Med-Pharmacology and Chemical Biology – Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh – (24006484)

NIH funded postdoctoral fellowships are immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Aird in the Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology at the University of Pittsburgh. Pitt is one of the top universities in the US, currently ranked in the top ten universities in NIH grant funding and with a very stimulating environment for talented young researchers.

The Aird Lab studies the intersection between cellular metabolism and the cell cycle of cancer. The lab has made fundamental discoveries into how metabolism informs proliferative cell fate decisions by studying two extremes of proliferation: cancer and cellular senescence. Both cancer and senescent cells are highly metabolically active, yet the outcomes of this rewiring are distinct. Using cancer as a model system, we aim to answer fundamental questions on the bidirectional control of metabolism and the cell cycle.

Applicants should have a PhD in the Biomedical Sciences with a strong background in molecular and cellular biology. Interested applicants should send a cover letter explaining your interest in the position, your research experience, and how your expertise aligns with the research goals of the lab, and a detailed CV including a list of publications and names of three references.
