Post Doctoral Fellow

The Sutter Laboratory in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Memphis is seeking a motivated postdoctoral fellow with strong experience in molecular and cell biology. You will join a NIH-funded multi-disciplinary team focused on the pharmacodynamics of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligands and their system level effects on skin biology.

Preference will be given to applicants with a strong publication record and experience in biochemistry, molecular biology, and immunology. Experience using complex analytical methods such as RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and metabolomics, as well as experience in cell culture models, animal genetics and data analysis is beneficial.

Strong oral and written communication skills are required. Salary is commensurate with education and experience. Competitive benefits package included. The PDF will conduct research in a laboratory setting that focuses on the pharmacodynamics of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligands and their system level effects on skin biology.

PDF is expected to perform complex experiments using analytical methods of biochemistry, molecular biology, and immunology. Examples of such methods include RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, metabolomics, and flow cytometry. The ability to perform these experiments in primary cell culture, organotypic culture and in vivo, in rodents, will be required.

In addition, good laboratory record keeping and the willingness to participate in research compliance are expected. Strong oral and written communication skills, willingness to train others, and the ability to write and submit scientific manuscripts are required. PhD in a Life Science discipline.
