job description

A full-time position for a postdoctoral fellow is available at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Nutrition. A highly motivated, creative and energetic individual is sought to investigate the link between primary cilia and pancreatic development and function. The project will rely heavily on zebrafish techniques as well as cell culture and molecular biology. The individual will be responsible for independently driving this project as well as pursuing new projects related to this topic. In addition to experimental work, the fellow will be expected to develop collaborations with others within the lab and with other labs, present findings regularly at departmental meetings and national/international scientific conferences and author papers and proposals – including applications for independent grant support.

Candidate must hold MD or PhD in genetics, biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, developmental biology, or related field and have at least 3-5 years of research laboratory experience in molecular and/or cell biology techniques. Experience with developmental animal models is required and experience with zebrafish embryology and adult models is desirable. Candidates with experience in pancreatic biology/development or ciliary biology will be given preference.

Qualified applicants should send CV, including relevant research experience and publication record, and a statement of research interests to Norann Zaghloul at zaghloul@umaryland.edu
