Postdoctoral researcher
A postdoctoral researcher is sought to join the Gupta lab in the Department of Internal Medicine at Rush University. The project is to implement a novel high-throughput chemical screen and to apply candidate compounds in experimental models of inflammatory and renal diseases.
We are particularly focused on the following:
- Immune cell recruitment/models of inflammation
- Models of glomerular diseases, such as FSGS and diabetic nephropathy.
A brief description of projects can be found elsewhere in the Gupta section of this website.
Requirements include a MD or PhD in life sciences with cell biology/immunology background. Mammalian cell culture, experience with small animal handling, molecular biology techniques and organizational skills are required.
Prior experience with some of the following techniques is required:
- High-throughput screening
- Mammalian cell culture
- Vertebrate biology
- Working with small animals
- Cell transfection assays
- Flow cytometry (FACS)
- Molecular biology (PCR, cloning, plasmid purification, RT-PCR).
Candidates must be enthusiastic, self-motivated and efficient, and must interact well with others as part of a team. The successful candidate must also have strong analytical, oral and written communication skills.
Due to grant funding restrictions, U.S. citizen or permanent resident (green card holder) applicants are preferred.
