Jason
Post-Doctoral or Associate Research Scientist: Molecular Biology
(US-New York-New York City) The Tabas Laboratory at Columbia University is looking for a PhD research scientist with advanced training in molecular biology. The focus of the laboratory is the biology of the lipid-loaded macrophage in atherosclerosis. Mechanisms and consequences of macrophage lipid loading are studied at the molecular and cellular levels and in vivo. The laboratory utilizes cell-culture models and induced mutant mice (i.e., transgenics and knockouts, including macrophage-specific cre-lox mice and bone marrow transplant models) to explore areas of macrophage cellular and molecular biology that are pertinent to the development of atherosclerosis. The laboratory is well funded by the NIH for the next 5 years and currently consists of a group of 5 excellent scientists and 3 technicians. Progressive research studies include areas related to signal transduction, apoptosis, intracellular lipid trafficking, and phagocytosis. The position offers an enterprising individual the opportunity to make breakthroughs in the field and achieve appropriate recognition. The selected scientist will work with pioneers in the field of macrophage cell biology and atherosclerosis.
