About this position

The Emfinger Lab in the Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center at the University of Kentucky is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar in islet biology and machine learning.

The lab studies factors that drive diabetes risk by altering insulin secretion and action, using omics data, computational approaches, and wet-lab validation in mice and human tissues. The postdoc will help collect data, analyze large datasets, prepare manuscripts, and present work at conferences. The environment is described as open and collaborative, with opportunities to work across endocrinology, biostatistics, genetics, metabolism, and related areas.

Research techniques of interest include adenoviral transfection of cells/tissues, generation of islet organoids, islet perifusion and imaging assays, in vivo metabolism assays such as glucose tolerance tests, and development of novel machine learning models in Python and R.

Eligibility highlights: PhD required; experience in life science or related disciplines; experience with mammalian cell and tissue culture, transfections, and in vivo phenotyping (especially oral gavage in mouse models) is required. Strong motivation for metabolic research, some mouse experience, English proficiency, and interest in learning new techniques are preferred.

Funding: salary is commensurate with experience. The scholar will also be supported in applying for fellowships and pilot proposals.

Application: deadline is 2026-12-31. Applicants should submit a CV and cover letter, and the cover letter must include a statement of research interests of no more than two pages.
