Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation is now accepting applications for a
Post-doctoral Fellow and a Senior/Research Technician in Free Radical Biology & Aging (H. Lim)
Post-doctoral Fellow - Free Radical Biology & Aging (H. Lim) - Job # 0000833:
The Lim Lab is seeking a Post-doctoral Fellow or Staff Scientist using Drosophila as a model system to study the novel genes and pathways involved in the regulation of energy metabolism and heart function, using a combination of genetic, biochemistry and functional imaging approaches. The research will involve working with a multi-disciplinary group of collaborators in the Free Radical Biology and Aging Program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (omrf.org). Our lab shares strong collaborations with other labs at OMRF and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in the areas of aging, mitochondrial biology, osteoimmunology, and energy metabolism. The Free Radical Biology and Aging Program is committed to training postdoctoral fellows for scientific career advancement. We are seeking candidates with a strong scientific background and excellent written and verbal communication skills to work with a multidisciplinary research team. Candidates with Drosophila genetics background will be a plus. The position is available immediately.
Minimum Qualifications:
Ph.D., M.D., or comparable doctoral degree at the time of the appointment.
Minimum Degree Required:
Doctorate
Physical Demands
Regularly required to stand, use manual dexterity, talk or hear; Frequently required to walk and reach with hands and arms; occasionally sit; frequently lift and/or move up to 50 pounds; vision abilities include close vision, color vision, depth perception and ability to adjust focus.
Potential exposure to fumes, airborne particles, or rodent dander. May work with toxic, caustic chemicals, radioactive materials, liquid nitrogen, human tissue or blood. Potential risk of electrical shock. Occasional exposure to cold 4C, and/or extreme cold -80C from freezers. Noise level is usually moderate.
