National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
POST: Post Doctoral
Fellow(Quantitative Evaluation of Metabolic Pathways)
A Postdoctoral position is
available in the Laboratory of Metabolic Control (LMC), Division of Intramural
Clinical and Biological Research (DICBR), National Institute on Alcohol Abuse
and Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Rockville, MD,
beginning in August 2012. The Laboratory of Metabolic Control defines the
phenotype of disease by determining the kinetic and thermodynamic factors
involved in the alterations of metabolic pathways and reactions causing simple
genetic and multifactorial complex disease states. From this, it defines
therapeutic measures which can return the diseased to the normal phenotype. The
Postdoctoral position's work will consist of quantitative evaluation of
metabolic pathways under different conditions, with special emphasis on changes
in glycolytic and Krebs cycle metabolites, as well as biochemical thermodynamic
calculations. The effects of ketosis on neurodegenerative and metabolic
disorders will be investigated. Experience with mammalian systems, Western blot
analysis, PCR and analysis of signaling pathways are desirable.
REQUIREMENTS:
Candidates must have an M.D. or
Ph.D., and less than 5 years postdoctoral experience.
TO APPLY:
For consideration, please email a
CV, bibliography, cover letter with a brief description of research experience
and interests, and three letters of reference to: Dr. Richard Veech at rveech@mail.nih.gov .
The NIH is dedicated to building
a diverse community in its training and employment programs
