About this position
The Zhu lab in the Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center at the University of Kentucky is recruiting a Post-doctoral Scholar to study adipose tissue and inter-organ communication in obesity and MASH (adipose-liver-gut axis). The project focuses on lipid metabolism, tissue crosstalk, and metabolic regulation using state-of-the-art genetics, physiology, and multi-omics approaches.
Research responsibilities include independent work with supervision, publication-oriented research, and designing/executing in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro experiments using cellular systems and mouse models. The role also includes mouse metabolic phenotyping and data analysis (glucose and lipid metabolism, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, energy expenditure, histology) plus molecular biology methods such as CRISPR gene editing and AAV-mediated gene delivery.
Eligibility highlights: PhD required; experience in life science or related disciplines is required. The posting also asks for strong motivation for metabolic research, some mouse experience, English proficiency, and interest in learning new techniques. A background in obesity, diabetes, or cancer metabolism is preferred.
Location: Lexington, Kentucky, United States.
Funding: Salary is commensurate with experience.
Deadline: 2027-03-31.
