About this position

Louisiana State University Pennington Biomedical Research Center is seeking a Research Associate 1 to join the Neurobiology of Metabolic Dysfunction department in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The position contributes to biomedical research investigating glucose regulation and metabolic physiology using rat models.

The researcher will support experiments examining metabolic dysfunction through in vivo rodent studies. Work includes assisting with and performing surgical procedures, including vascular catheter implantation, conducting hyperinsulinemic-hypoglycemic clamp experiments, providing postoperative care, maintaining indwelling catheters, collecting serial blood samples, and administering experimental treatments.

Additional laboratory activities include collecting and processing biological samples, performing enzymatic assays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, organizing and analyzing physiological and biochemical data, maintaining accurate experimental records, and contributing to reports and scientific publications. The role also involves assisting with research project design, maintaining laboratory equipment, following animal research and safety protocols, and participating in laboratory meetings and collaborations.

Pennington Biomedical Research Center is a world-renowned academic research institute and an LSU campus focused on basic, clinical, population, and public health research. Its research environment includes approximately 65 faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, laboratories, specialized core facilities, and multiple NIH-supported research centers.
