About this position

The Gut–Brain Science Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar for an NIH-funded research program led by Dr. Rajan Singh in the Department of Physiology and Cell Biology.

The project centers on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to gastroparesis, gastrointestinal dysmotility, intestinal barrier dysfunction, and related disorders of gut–brain interaction. The successful scholar will help investigate how gut-resident macrophages regulate gastric neuromuscular function and epithelial barrier integrity, using a combination of genetically engineered mouse models and translational studies with coded human gastric and duodenal biopsy specimens.

The lab’s research environment is highly multidisciplinary, combining neurogastroenterology, mucosal immunology, gastrointestinal physiology, molecular biology, single-cell transcriptomics, advanced imaging, and human tissue-based translational research. The postdoctoral scholar will work with Dr. Singh and collaborating investigators on mechanistic studies of muscularis and mucosal macrophages, in vivo physiology experiments, barrier-function assays, immune-cell characterization, and the interpretation of high-dimensional datasets. The role also offers opportunities to contribute to manuscripts, abstracts, conference presentations, and multidisciplinary collaborations within the broader program.

Funding details

NIH-funded research program; salary is competitive and commensurate with related education and experience.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or equivalent doctoral degree in physiology, cell and molecular biology, immunology, neuroscience, gastroenterology, pharmacology, biomedical sciences, or a closely related discipline. The doctoral degree must have been completed within the five years immediately preceding the first date of appointment as a postdoctoral fellow at the University, and applicants cannot have held previous positions in the professional ranks. Required experience includes experimental biomedical research, excellent written and oral communication skills, the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment, and evidence of scientific productivity such as peer-reviewed publications, manuscripts, or substantial doctoral research accomplishments.

How to apply

Apply through the Workday application link and submit the required attachments: CV, cover letter, three professional references, and representative publications. Apply as soon as possible because the posting is open until filled and may close without notice when enough applications are received.
