Postdoctoral/Research Associate Position
Department of Pathology
University of Vermont
Burlington, VT
A Postdoctoral/Research Associate Position is available immediately within the Department of Pathology at the University of Vermont, on an NIH-funded project to study the importance of the NADPH oxidase DUOX1 in airway epithelial biology and its involvement in airway epithelial injury and remodeling in chronic airway diseases such as asthma. Research will involve multidisciplinary approaches, ranging from molecular biology to proteomics approaches, using both in vitro models of cultured or primary epithelial cells as well as in vivo mouse models of epithelial injury and allergic inflammation. Strong background in cell and molecular biology is essential, and the successful candidate will preferably have prior expertise in the area of airway biology and inflammatory disease. He/she would join a multidisciplinary and highly interactive group of investigators within the Vermont Lung Center, which offers excellent potential for translational research in a stimulating academic environment. Information about the University of Vermont and its scientific community can be obtained from our campus website at http://www.uvm.edu.
Interested candidates should send a letter stating past and future research interests and accomplishments, as well as a curriculum vitae and the names of three references to:
