About this position

Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky, United States.

This full-time postdoctoral opening is in the Department of Pharmacology & Nutritional Sciences and focuses on neuroscience, metabolism, diabetes, obesity, and the neural control of glucose homeostasis. The research uses a multidisciplinary approach combining mouse models and in vitro studies to investigate how the brain regulates energy and glucose balance, with particular emphasis on the hypothalamus and neural circuits involved in metabolic regulation.

Applicants should hold a PhD in Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Physiology, Biology, or a closely related field. The post specifically asks for at least one first-author publication in a peer-reviewed journal, plus experience with mouse work, neural tracing, stereotaxic surgery, and related metabolic or molecular techniques. Strong English communication skills, scientific curiosity, self-motivation, and a commitment to research are highlighted. Preferred experience includes metabolic phenotyping, glucose tolerance testing, insulin sensitivity studies, immunohistochemistry, microscopy, and molecular biology.

The salary is commensurate with experience. The posting does not mention tuition or scholarship funding, since this is a research staff/postdoctoral role rather than a degree studentship.

To apply, use the University of Kentucky jobs portal and submit your application online before 2026-11-13. Review the posting carefully for any required documents and screening requirements.
