About this position

Postdoctoral Fellow or Staff Scientist opportunity in immunometabolism, diabetes, obesity, extracellular vesicle (EV) research, RNA biology, inflammation, and endocrinology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in the United States.

The lab studies how metabolic stress from obesity and nutritional excess changes intercellular and interorgan communication and immune responses, contributing to metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. The project focus includes RNA silencing and RNA regulatory mechanisms, EV-mediated communication, and the interaction between metabolism and inflammation/immune responses.

Successful candidates may work on analysis of inflammation and immune regulation mediated by EVs and RNA cargo, molecular and cellular functional studies using cultured cells, immune cells, and disease models, and data interpretation leading to new hypotheses. The lab welcomes applicants with experience in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, immunology, mouse models, RNA biology, immunometabolism, metabolic disease, or extracellular vesicles, and also encourages motivated researchers who want to learn new techniques and develop their own research themes.

This is a full-time, fixed-term research position. Postdoctoral Fellow salary follows NIH postdoc salary standards and is adjusted for experience; Staff Scientist conditions follow institutional rules. Benefits include health insurance, paid leave, and other welfare provisions according to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center policy. The usual appointment is expected to be about 3 years, with an initial 1-year contract and possible annual renewal.

Eligibility requires a Ph.D. or equivalent research doctorate in life sciences or a related field by the start date. The deadline is 2027-03-31, and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so the position may close early once filled.

How to apply: submit an English CV, publication list, and English cover letter, plus contact details for 2–3 referees. Apply electronically via the JREC-IN portal or the employer's online application page; email submission is also possible to [email protected].
