Research Postdoctoral Fellow

Job description

Description Tulane University School of Medicine, the Division of Trauma & Acute Care Surgery is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Translational Vascular Biology and Trauma Research. We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join a multidisciplinary translational research program investigating mechanisms of organ failure after trauma, with a focus on endothelial glycocalyx biology, inflammatory signaling pathways including IL-22/STAT3, and lung–kidney crosstalk in ARDS and AKI. The laboratory integrates basic, mechanistic, and translational models spanning murine injury systems, large-animal models, human biospecimens, and cell-based assays. The fellow will lead hypothesis-driven projects while contributing to collaborative NIH-funded studies aimed at identifying therapeutic targets to prevent multi-system organ failure. Research Environment: The fellow will work within a collaborative research ecosystem that includes translational trauma programs, access to clinical biospecimens and prospective registries, advanced microscopy and molecular biology platforms, biostatistics and data science core support, and cross-disciplinary mentorship with clinicians, engineers,...
