Positions

Postdoctoral Position

Two postdoctoral positions in NIH training grant are immediately available for highly motivated individuals with PhD in molecular biology/biochemistry/toxicology or related discipline and seeking to build a career in inflammatory lung diseases. The lab is interested in basic mechanistic and translational research focusing on bzip transcription factor, Nrf2. Previous work from the lab using mice models have demonstrated that this transcription factor determines the susceptibility and severity of emphysema, asthma and various pulmonary diseases by regulating environmental stress response. The project involves the molecular mechanism of Nrf2 dependent regulation of stress response and inflammation in emphysema, neonatal lung injury and asthma as well as translational aspect of targeting this transcription factor for intervening diseases in preclinical models and clinical trials. Individuals with a productive track record and experience in molecular biology/ toxicology/ biochemistry or pathophysiology in mice models are encouraged to apply. These are NIH training grant positions so they are restricted to US citizens/permanent residents.

Postdoctoral position in molecular biology

A postdoctoral position is immediately available for highly motivated individuals with PhD in molecular biology/biochemistry/cancer biology/ toxicology or related discipline. The lab is interested in basic mechanistic and translational research focusing on bzip transcription factor, Nrf2. Previous work from the lab has demonstrated that this transcription factor determines the susceptibility and severity of emphysema, asthma, cancer and various pulmonary diseases by regulating environmental stress response: http://www.jhsph.edu/Dept/EHS/Faculty/biswal/index.htm. The project involves the molecular mechanism of Nrf2 dependent regulation of oxidative stress and cell survival in context of several diseases. Individuals with a productive track record and experience in molecular biology/ cancer biology are encouraged to apply.
