Postdoctoral researcher: neurovascular signaling

Postdoctoral researcher: neurovascular signaling

The Junge lab at the University of Minnesota Medical School (Twin Cities) seeks to appoint a full-time Post-Doctoral Researcher. The Junge lab studies neurovascular signaling and integrates mouse genetics, molecular and protein-biochemical methods, cell biology, and various - omics. These efforts help us to understand how normal biology is altered in disease, in particular retinal vascular diseases. Junge lab webpage: https://med.umn.edu/ophthalmology/research/junge-lab

Training and mentoring are important in the lab: past lab members have published well and were successful in their career development. Juicy projects for postdocs available!
