POST: Postdoctoral Fellow(
Bio-behavioral Applications in Digestive Disorders)
The Bio-behavorial Unit seeks a
Postdoctoral Fellow who will participate in our clinical and translational
research program aiming to better understand the immuno-genetic mechanisms
involved in symptom distress related to digestive and liver diseases,
specifically the biobehavioral relationships between gut/ barrier function,
inflammation, and patient symptoms. This research aims to identify genetic or
other biologic/physiologic factors that predict patient-related clinical
outcomes. Furthermore sex and gender differences are clinically evident,
however have not been fully explained. The following aspects are included:
Brain-Gut interactions in overweight and normal weight patients with chronic
abdominal pain of unknown origin; immuno-genetic mechanisms involved in
gastrointestinal symptom distress; and clinical and translational biobehavioral
applications. Additional focus includes Brain-Gut Liver Axis and barrier
function as well as the genetic mechanisms underlying altered miRNA and mRNA
expression in digestive disorders.
Come and be a part of a collaborative
translational research team with experts from gastroenterology, hepatology,
nutrition, oncology, biology, and bio-statistics. Our team is dedicated to
developing novel treatments and non-invasive interventions to improve and
better understand pediatric gastrointestinal disorders. True bench to bedside research
is aimed at linking the biologic/physiologic factors to patient related
outcomes. Our protocols are aimed at discovery of the main biologic patterns
and pathways that lead to unknown etiologies.
Requirements:
Applicant should have a PhD
degree, and/or an MD degree and less than 5 years of postdoctoral experience.
To Apply:
Email your CV, cover letter, and
a brief statement of research interests, and the name with phone numbers of
three references to Dr. Wendy A. Henderson, hendersw@mail.nih.gov
The NIH is dedicated to building
a diverse community in its training and employment programs
