About this role
About the Role The Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at the University of Cincinnati seeks a Post Doctoral Fellow to join a well-funded laboratory within the Center for Lipid and Atherosclerosis Studies (CLAS). The role focuses on the structure, composition, and function of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and on how proteins on the surface of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins contribute to counteracting hypertriglyceridemia in cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The appointment supports ongoing research and professional development in lipid metabolism. What You'll Do
- Conduct research experiments in lipoprotein metabolism within the predetermined scope and methodology.
- Work on projects involving the structure, composition, and function of HDL and how proteins interact on triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to combat hypertriglyceridemia in cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
- Gather and analyze data, develop new ideas, and promote current research.
- Prepare data summaries, reports, manuscripts, and presentations of research results.
- Participate/assist in manuscript writing for publication in scientific journals and/or presentation; may assist in grant writing.
- Keep informed of developments in the field to maintain and enhance professional expertise.
- May teach techniques to others, train, and mentor junior research staff.
- Engage in appropriate training and professional development opportunities.
- Play an active role in seeking career and research advice, both from the faculty. What We're Looking For
- Experience conducting research in lipoprotein metabolism, HDL structure and function.
- Ability to conduct experiments, gather and analyze data, and develop new ideas to advance research.
- Experience preparing data summaries, reports, manuscripts, and presentations; may assist in grant writing.
- Willingness to learn, stay current in the field, and engage in professional development; ability to mentor junior staff.
