Post-translational Protein Modifications, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Apoptosis and Tissue Damage

Postdoctoral fellow positions are immediately available to study the role of increased oxidative/nitrative stress in promoting post-translational protein modifications, mitochondrial dysfunction, ER stress, apoptosis and tissue damage caused by alcohol, drugs, fructose, and western-style high fat diets through the gut-liver-brain axis. Molecular biological, biochemical and proteomics methods are being used to study the mechanisms of alcohol- and high fat-induced organ damage (liver and brain damage) in various experimental models (cultured cells & transgenic or knockout mice) and human specimens.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. with less than five years of postdoctoral experience. A candidate with strong background in molecular and cell biology or protein biochemistry with in vivo animal experience is highly preferred.

Application: Highly motivated applicants should send their curriculum vitae with bibliography, a brief statement of research interest and career goals, and three reference letters (or contact information) to Dr. B. J. Song at bj.songnih.gov (e-mail) or 5625 Fishers Lane, Room 3N-01, Rockville, MD 20852-9410.
