Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Full-time)

We are hiring a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the UTHealth Houston McGovern Medical School Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology in Houston, Texas. The primary research focus of our group is circadian rhythms in health and disease, and our work has been extensively published in highly regarded journals including Cell Metabolism, Nature Communications, Cell Reports, EMBO Reports and PNAS. In this role, you will employ an integrative approach, combining molecular/cellular methodologies, mouse models, and cutting-edge omics/imaging techniques to interrogate circadian regulation of skeletal muscle bioenergetics and function. Success in these studies will have profound basic and translational impact. A major on-going project is circadian regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism in metabolic disease and aging. The ideal candidate should have a demonstrated publication record and solid background in relevant areas. Working experience with laboratory mice is desirable. The candidates should also possess excellent communication and organizational skills, and have the personality and professionalism to work productively in a team setting.
