Postdoc position to study gene-environment interaction
on gut and liver pathophysiology
代PO，有興趣者請直接與劉博士聯絡。
Dr. Ta-Chiang Liu at [email protected]
[說明]:
An immediate opening for a postdoctoral scholar position is available in Dr.
Ta-Chiang Liu’s laboratory at Washington University School of Medicine
https://sites.wustl.edu/liulab/). The interests of the Liu lab are in
understanding how genetic and environmental factors interactions shape
immunity and metabolism. We have shown that in patients and mouse models of
Crohn’s disease, the function of small intestinal Paneth cells (critical for
innate immunity and stem cell homeostasis) can be modulated by
gene-environment interactions (Gastroenterology 2014, JCI
Insight 2016, JCI Insight 2017, JCI 2018). In addition, we are also expanding
our research directions to metabolic dysregulation such as nonalcoholic fatty
liver disease. The primary focus of this position will be to study the
cellular and molecular mechanisms using a combination of molecular and cell
biology approaches in mouse models, organoid culture, primary samples, and
bioinformatics analysis. The lab is well funded, having just received over
$3M funding from various funding agencies.
[Required qualifications]:
Candidates with prior experience in immunology, metabolism, microbiology
or related fields with a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree. Clinicians interested in
2-3 years sabbatical are also encouraged to apply.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
[Preferred qualifications]:
Experience with primary cell culture (including organoids), flow cytometry,
and microbiota analysis.
[Applicant special instructions]:
Candidates must provide personal statement, current CV and 2 to 3 references
that can be contacted directly by phone and/or email to Dr. Ta-Chiang Liu at
[email protected].
