Assistant Research Scientist

This position is currently filled.

The Department of Pathology is seeking an Assistant Research Scientist to investigate the mechanisms of how lipids regulate cell metabolism and intracellular signaling pathways in cells from various types of disease models like obesity, cancer and psoriasis. Tasks include the design and performance assigned research project and obtain high-quality data in each individual study. Tasks also include management of laboratory protocols, training and collaboration of laboratory personnel, including students, post-doctoral fellows and technicians. This position is 100% time.

Research Associate

This position is currently filled.

The Department of Pathology is seeking a Research Associate to perform biological- and immunological-related laboratory procedures involving mouse colony maintenance/genotyping, tumor models, and detailed techniques as outlined in research protocols. The candidates are expected to plan research projects and may propose modifications to protocols or assist in the design of protocols, tabulates experimental results, maintains accurate and complete records of work performed, and takes an active role in the analysis of data.  The candidates should be able to communicate clearly and precisely to other members of our research team and to personnel outside of our laboratory. This position is 100% time.

Postdoctoral Scholars

The Department of Pathology is recruiting for several Postdoc Research Scholars for the Li Research Lab. The Li lab studies how FABPs regulate cell metabolism and intracellular signal transduction pathways in leukocytes, and determines the mechanisms by which FABPs link high fat diets, metabolism and complex diseases (Cell, 2020; 182:1066, Cell metabolism; 2018;28:689). This position will help with NIH-funded projects on the role of fatty acid binding proteins in obesity, chronic inflammation, and tumor development.
