Postdoctoral Fellow-MSH-12908-098

About the role

Our laboratory focuses on exploring and evaluating the complexity of molecular signaling crosstalk between cells in the kidney. We seek a highly motivated and exceptionally creative candidate to lead a cutting-edge research project that aims to examine molecular mechanisms in the glomerulus that result in diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease progression.

Responsibilities

• Design, set-up and run cell biological projects
• Experience with protein chemistry, purification, and characterization
• Meticulous data documentation and organizational skills
• Experience giving presentations of research findings to other members of the scientific community
• To be fluent with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, R, Matlab
• Experience documenting, organizing, and tracking multiple ongoing projects
• Excellent communication skills (written and oral)
• Organized and diligent with time management and deadlines
• Creative in proposing new methods, techniques or approaches

Qualifications

• Hold a Ph.D. or MD
• Experience required in cell culture and mice handling
• First author publication in international peer reviewed journals
• Self-driven, enthusiastic and to have a drive to make a significant impact
• Experience with gene editing is highly desired

Goals/Outcomes Of The Research Project

• To lead a cutting-edge research project that aims to examine molecular mechanisms in the glomerulus that result in diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease progression
• The project will focus on exploring the key functional mechanisms of glomerular cell function and gene editing tools for potential curative therapies

Pay

The salary range for the role is $72,500 – $80,000 annually. Actual salaries depend on a variety of factors, including experience, education, and operational need.
