Postdoctoral research positions are available in the Seo lab at the University of Michigan (https://sph.umich.edu/faculty-profiles/seo-youngah.html). Our lab is interested in understanding the roles of micronutrients such as iron and manganese in health and disease. Using cellular, molecular, and genetic approaches, our research focus on 1) the fundamental mechanisms of iron and manganese homeostasis and transport, and 2) how disturbances in their metabolism lead to metabolic and neurological disorders.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in biology, genetics, neuroscience or a related field. Highly-motivated and enthusiastic scientist who obtained PhD recently with publications in journals are encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates will lead projects requiring technical expertise such as metabolic characterization of transgenic mouse model, cell culture studies, and/or biochemical studies.
