Postdoctoral Research Associate - Fan Lab

Job description

Description The Fan lab at Morgridge Institute for Research and University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to study the metabolism of macrophages and neutrophils. The successful candidate will join a dynamic, interdisciplinary team investigating the dynamic metabolic regulation during immune cell activation and how metabolic pathways influence immune cell function. Key Responsibilities: - Design and conduct experiments to characterize metabolic remodeling coupled to immune response and mechanistically investigate metabolism-function connections in macrophages and neutrophils - Employ cellular, molecular, and biochemical approaches, including genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9), metabolomics and isotopic tracing, immune function essays, transcriptomic analyses etc. - Analyze data, interpret results, and prepare manuscripts and presentations. - Collaborate with team members and contribute to ongoing lab projects. - Potentially mentor junior graduate or undergraduate trainees as needed. Requirements: - Ph.D. in Biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology or a related field (completed or near completion). - Strong background in immunology and cell meta...
