Postdoctoral Fellowship In Immunological Research

We are seeking aPostdoctoral Research Fellowin the laboratory ofDr. Qing Linat Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/profiles/details/qing-lin), starting in Fall 2023. Our lab aims to understand how inflammation drives tissue remodeling. By investigating key signaling pathways in regulating the proinflammatory-to-proproliferative function switch of immune cells, we expect to gain vital insights into the wound-healing mechanisms in the injured lung and skin.

:

We investigate critical inflammatory pathways, including DAMP (damage-associated molecular pattern) and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling, etc., with a goal to elucidate immuno-regulatory mechanisms in vascular inflammatory diseases especially pulmonary arterial hypertension and fibrotic wound healing. We employ multi-disciplinary approaches, including molecular biology, RNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, in vitro cell phenotype studies (polarization, proliferation, apoptosis, and motility), in vivo recombinant mouse models (over-expression, knock-in and knock-out), hemodynamic analysis of rodent cardiovascular function (cardiac catheterization and pressure-volume loops), measurement of arterial remodeling, and assessments of tissue fibrosis and regeneration.

Our goal for the new postdoctoral fellow is to learn new skills and develop and build their CV to become an independent scientist or lab head in academia or industry.

Qualifications:

Candidates should have completed (or expect to receive) a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree in biomedical fields. A strong track record of peer-reviewed publications is desirable. Experience with in vivo rodent models and in vitro cell culture is preferred.

Employment at Johns Hopkins University:

Johns Hopkins University is a leading world-renowned biomedical research institution. The employment will be a position supported by AHA and NIH (R01) grants. The postdoctoral fellow salary will be based on NIH guidelines. This position is eligible for Visa Sponsorship.

To Apply:

Please submit a single document containing: 1) an updated CV, 2) a brief personal statement describing research interests and career goals, and 3) contact information for three references. Select applicants will be invited to interview.Please directly email the document to: [email protected] (Qing Lin, M.D., Ph.D.; https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/profiles/details/qing-lin).
