| Job Description | The Erbay Laboratory seeks an outstanding postdoctoral fellow with experience in signal transduction and atherosclerosis related work, both in vivo and in vitro. Specifically, candidates should have strong training in molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, experience with kinase assays and mouse studies of atherosclerosis. The content of the research will encompass the role and molecular mechanisms of lipid induced endoplasmic reticulum stress in atherosclerosis and characterization of new genetic mouse models as well as chemical-biological and physiological approaches. There will also be opportunities for collaborations with local and outside research groups. Candidates with Ph.D. or Ph.D./MD degree and relevant experience as evident in their past publications and scholarly activities and good oral and written communication skills are encouraged to apply and provide a cover letter, current CV and three references. Dr. Erbay's research efforts focus on the genetic basis of complex metabolic diseases, particularly atherosclerosis, obesity and diabetes. Her research examines the molecular mechanisms of nutrient sensing and response pathways, particularly the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, as they relate to physiological metabolic homeostasis and also to these pathologies how immune response is integrated to metabolic homeostasis.
