Postdoctoral Research Associate, Department of Child Health (College of Medicine - Phoenix)

The University of Arizona

in Phoenix, AZ

Type: Full-Time

Posted: Today

Application Due: Open Until Filled

Category: Medical Research

Posting Number: req26234

Department: COM Phx Child Health

Location: Greater Phoenix Area

Address: Phoenix, AZ USA

Position Highlights

The Department of Child Health at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix is looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Pulmonary Hypertension laboratory of Dr. Laszlo Farkas. The lab studies the molecular and immunological mechanisms underlying pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), with a particular focus on the role of endosomal dysfunction (deficiency in the GTPase RAB7) and its protein interaction partners, including CSDE1, in regulating pulmonary vascular remodeling and immune responses. Using mouse and rat models of pulmonary vascular disease and human cell-based systems, this research investigates how RAB7 deficiency via the RNA binding protein CSDE1 contributes to pulmonary vascular dysfunction, inflammatory signaling, and disease progression. The candidate will be mentored in career development toward independent research and training to become a principle investigator. Enthusiastic applicants with PhD, MD, or PhD/MD degree with expertise in cardiovascular and pulmonary biology and experience in molecular and cellular biology techniques are encouraged to apply.

This position is eligible for visa sponsorship.

Outstanding U of A benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; U of A/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; retirement plans; access to U of A recreation and cultural activities; and more! The University of Arizona has been recognized for our innovative work-life programs. For more information about working at the University of Arizona and relocations services, please click here.

Notice of Availability of the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report

In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (Clery Act), each year the University of Arizona releases an Annual Security Report (ASR) for each of the University's campuses. These reports disclose information including Clery crime statistics for the previous three calendar years and policies, procedures, and programs the University uses to keep students and employees safe, including how to report crimes or other emergencies and resources for crime victims. As a campus with residential housing facilities, the Main Campus ASR also includes a combined Annual Fire Safety report with information on fire statistics and fire safety systems, policies, and procedures.

Paper copies of the Reports can be obtained by contacting the University Compliance Office at cleryact@arizona.edu.

The University of Arizona is a committed Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution. Women, minorities, veterans and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
