These studies are funded by multiple sources, including NIH/NCI and the American Cancer Society. The laboratory uses state-of-the-art technologies and tissue-specific mutant mouse models to investigate the underlying triggers of cancer-induced neuromuscular dysfunction and musculoskeletal waste. The projects are highly collaborative and multidisciplinary with excellent opportunities for advanced training and scientific development. Interested candidates will possess significant experience in skeletal muscle physiology, preferably a background in cancer biology or exercise physiology, and extensive experience working with, and characterizing mouse models, as also evidenced by their publication records. Additional background experience in bone and liver biology, or a willingness to develop an interest in inter-organ crosstalk are preferred. Interested candidates will join a dynamic and fast-paced research environment and will be responsible for the development of novel research methods, will conduct experiments using in-vitro and in-vivo approaches, will perform project planning, data interpretation, authorship of presentations and publications, lab management, and training of personnel. The PI is committed to supporting the candidate's career development and research progress, including fostering and facilitating grant submissions, attending and presenting at scientific meetings, and exploring new project areas and collaborations.
