Campus: IU School of Medicine Indianapolis
Position Summary
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, and Occupational Medicine in the Department of Medicine. A full-time postdoctoral fellow position is available to conduct research focused on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of lung diseases and lung cancer with inhaled exposures.
The Sears' federally funded laboratory focuses on the impact of DNA damage and repair on the development of lung cancers and in treatment response. Our overall goal is to determine the key mechanisms involved in early exposure-related lung cancer development which can be used to identify prognosis and/or targeted with therapeutics to prevent progression. We are seeking a highly motivated and curious post-doctoral candidate will be involved in both in vitro and in vivo research using animal models, primary, and immortalized cell culture models, molecular and cellular techniques, immunofluorescence, and histological analyses.
Indianapolis is the capital and most populous city in the State of Indiana. It is growing economically thanks to a strong corporate base anchored by the life sciences. Indiana is home to one of the largest concentrations of health sciences companies in the nation. Indianapolis has a sophisticated blend of charm and culture with a wonderful balance of business and leisure. The growing residential base is supported by rich amenities and quality of life - the city possesses a variety of professional sports, arts venues and outdoor recreation areas. Residents of this dynamic city, and surrounding suburbs, enjoy leading educational systems and top-ranked universities, paired with a diverse population.
