Position Title:

Post Doctoral Fellow - CBP Del Rio Lab

Job Family Group:

Professional Staff

Job Description Summary:

The Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology, will conduct research investigating the neural mechanisms driving autonomic, cardiovascular, and respiratory dysfunction in cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. The research integrates:

  Neurophysiology & cardiorespiratory control

  Heart failure (HFpEF, high-output HF), hypertension & intermittent hypoxia

  Sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) & brainstem circuit function

  Glial biology, chemoreflex pathways, and neuroinflammation

  Chemogenetics/optogenetics & in vivo physiology

  Multi-organ autonomic systems and translational models

The position involves both basic and translational research under the direction of a Principal Investigator. This is a highly collaborative position with opportunities for multidisciplinary work, mentorship, and national/international presentations.

Our group has led fundamental discoveries linking brainstem neuronal and astroglia dysfunction to autonomic imbalance, breathing irregularity, and cardiorespiratory failure.

The research is housed in modern laboratory space with state-of-the-art equipment and will build on a long history of innovative service to the KUMC research community.

Job Description:

Key Roles and Responsibilities

Expectations: The Postdoc will be expected to complete research projects under the guidance of the faculty mentor, record and interpret the results of their experiments in an (electronic) laboratory notebook, prepare publication-quality manuscripts (including figures and tables) and publish in peer-reviewed literature.

Read literature articles, develop new ideas, and assimilate the information into his/her project design/interpretation.

Dissemination of studies: Interact on a regular basis with their PI, faculty mentor and members of the laboratory to discuss experimental design and interpretation of results.

Present research aims and findings at department seminars and at local and

national scientific meetings. Write and publish their results as first author in

abstracts, manuscripts, and posters.

Lead mechanistic studies examining how brainstem circuits and peripheral

chemoreceptors contribute to cardiovascular and respiratory dysregulation in heart failure and metabolic disease.

Employ cutting-edge tools including:

In vivo autonomic & respiratory recordings

Chemogenetic and optogenetic approaches

Confocal and molecular analyses (PCR, Western blot, immunohistochemistry)

Rodent models of heart failure & intermittent hypoxia

Data science & physiological signal analysis

Compliance:

Attend and maintain compliance on all orientation and training sessions designated by the University and the Department, understand and follow IACUC and biosafety protocols, and attend departmental seminars and regular lab meetings.
