Postdoc/Senior Scientist/Research Faculty Position Available

A full-time postdoctoral position is available for a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar interested in lung endothelial and immune cell regulation in the laboratory of Dr. Dolly Mehta in the Department of Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Illinois.

The projects involve transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of lung cells by calcium channels, G-protein coupled receptors, and matrisome (extracellular matrix). The successful applicant can be expected to use sophisticated tools in physiological genomics utilizing cell and primary culture and organ and whole mouse physiology. They will work among a multidisciplinary team of faculty with diverse interests, ideas, and experiences

A notable feature of this postdoctoral fellowship will be the experience in combining state-of-the-art genetic and molecular methods (including multi-OMICS) with sophisticated physiologic techniques to address fundamental mechanisms of lung vascular homeostasis using genetically modified mouse models and human endothelial and blood cells.
