06 Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Arizona, United States

The R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy invites qualified applicants to apply for the position of Postdoctoral Research Associate I in the laboratory of Dr. Xinxin Ding, to study xenobiotic metabolism and toxicity in various target organs. Candidates with background and experience in one or more of the following subject areas are preferred: drug/xenobiotic metabolism, transgenic mouse models, pharmacokinetics, mass spectrometry, genomics and metabolomics, lung diseases (inflammation, fibrosis, and cancer), biomarkers of metabolic activation (DNA and protein adducts), and neurodegeneration.

The Materials Science and Engineering department (MSE) is seeking highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associates with expertise and/or interest in high temperature structural materials, additive manufacturing, non-destructive testing, multi-scale modeling and materials characterization. The ideal candidates will be able to contribute to the testing of metallic materials, micro structural characterization and/or develop ICME models and digital twins. This position is full-time and on-site at the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ.

We seek an early career scientist with background in ecohydrology, numerical modeling and/or remote sensing to fill a position as Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences. The postdoctoral researcher will investigate remote sensing methods to estimate whole ecosystem scale transpiration at the Landscape Evolution Observatory (LEO) located at Biosphere 2.

Together with an interdisciplinary team of scientists, the Postdoc will develop upscaling methods to estimate ecosystem scale transpiration based on locally observed energy balance partitioning. Affinity with remote sensing techniques is a plus. The candidate is expected to contribute to research proposals that can be submitted to relevant funding agencies, such as National Science Foundation, to further fund the research. The project will take advantage of the exceptional measurement capability of the LEO hillslopes and will gain novel insights into the mechanisms that control transpiration of ecosystems.

The Department of Immunobiology is seeking highly motivated applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Associate I position to be co-mentored by Drs. Koenraad Van Doorslaer and Michael Kuhns. This challenging position requires a high level of enthusiasm, dedication, and drive for applicants interested in conducting evolutionary guided research into the molecular mechanisms of T-Cell activation and cell fate decisions (pubmed search: Van Doorslaer K, Kuhns MS).

The Sarver Cardiovascular Research Center at the University of Arizona is seeking highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associates. The ideal candidates will possess a doctoral degree (PhD or MD) and have a strong background in molecular biology and physiology. There are three major projects in the lab: 1) studying the role of various cellular proteins in cardiac, immune and cancer metabolism, 2) role of mRNA-binding proteins in cell regeneration, and 3) characterization of cellular and mitochondrial iron homeostasis. Using mouse models, histology, cell culture, differential expression analyses, and molecular biology assays, our lab studies the molecular mechanisms that regulate metabolic processes and iron homeostasis both in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
