The University of Arizona is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Wilson Laboratory in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the Tucson Campus.
The research focuses on intestinal epithelial biology, intestinal barrier function, viral pathogenesis, and cytomegalovirus infection. The successful candidate will design, coordinate, and execute complex experiments across multiple laboratories, contribute to novel methodologies and scientific insight, and support high-impact publications.
Key responsibilities include advanced live-cell and fixed-cell imaging using AXR confocal, SoRa spinning-disk confocal, and super-resolution microscopy; image processing with ImageJ, MATLAB, or equivalent platforms; analysis of complex imaging datasets; manuscript and figure preparation; scientific dissemination at national and international conferences; and mentorship of graduate students, staff scientists, and laboratory trainees.
Applicants must hold a PhD in a related area such as cardiovascular biology, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or cellular biology. Preferred experience includes work with human primary cells, multiple cell lines, complex host-pathogen systems, high-resolution imaging, and laboratory mentorship. A strong interpersonal and scientific record is expected.
This is a full-time, benefits-eligible appointment paid according to NIH salary guidelines and experience. Benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance, paid leave and holidays, and tuition reduction for eligible employees and family members. Visa sponsorship is available.
