Assistant Professor (Tenure Track)
Loyola University Chicago, Stritch School of Medicine The Department of Surgery/Burn and Shock Trauma Research Institute (BSTRI) at Loyola University Chicago (LUC), Stritch School of Medicine is seeking to recruit one tenure track fa... culty and invites applications from both basic and clinician scientists. The faculty in the BSTRI are highly collaborative and maintain a strong federally funded research program in the area of burns, trauma, sepsis, alcohol and wound healing. The institute has a long history of training the next generation of basic and physician scientists and is home to a NIGMS T32 training program. The BSTRI (https://ssom.luc.edu/bsti/), housed within the Department of Surgery (https://ssom.luc.edu/surgery/), is located in the newly constructed state-of-the-art Center for Translational Research and Education (CTRE) at LUC’s Health Sciences Campus.
Interested candidates should submit applications including a curriculum vitae, a statement of accomplishments and future priorities in research, and a brief statement on their commitment to teaching and student mentorship. The candidate should also provide the names and contact information of three individuals who have agreed to provide letters of reference. Review of applications will commence immediately, and applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
The successful candidate is expected to maintain an independent, externally funded research program in the area of tissue injury, immune and inflammation in response to burn/trauma/sepsis and contribute to graduate and medical education.
Qualifications: Candidates must have a Ph.D., M.D., M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent and postdoctoral experience with a strong publication record. Clinically active investigators with 50% commitment to research are encouraged to apply. This is a 12-month faculty appointment, and the rank/tenure will be commensurate with qualifications.
McMaster University The David Braley Research Institute (affiliated with McMaster University) has an immediate opening for a full-time, experienced Postdoctoral Fellow in Immuno-Metabolism in the lab... oratory of Dr. Marc Jeschke – Professor of Surgery, Vice President of Research at Hamilton Health Sciences.
We focus on translational research to attenuate burn-induced hypermetabolism, inflammation, and sepsis. We have recently shown that the adipose tissue plays a major role in hypermetabolism, which has been associated with adverse clinical outcomes.
The goals of our research are to develop novel treatments and interventions to attenuate the browning response and potentially implement novel clinical treatments.
The ideal candidate is an enthusiastic, highly motivated, organized individual who will enjoy collaborating as part of a team conducting research to study the effects of burn on the adipose and its mediators.
Skills and Qualifications: • PhD in Cell Biology or Metabolism, with a strong background in lipid and adipose tissue research • Experience in some or all of the following techniques: flow cytometry with multi-color panel design for immune cell profiling & sorting, assessments of immune cell function and immunometabolism, biochemical techniques, primary cell culture, rodent models, molecular biology techniques (real-time gene expression, etc.), tissue processing, imaging (e.g. confocal microscopy) • Experience in study design, execution, and interpretation of mitochondrial respiration measurement and stress tests • Experience in study design and result interpretation for metabolomics, proteomics, and snRNA-seq • Proven track record of publications in high-quality journals required (minimum of 5 publications)
The fellowship is for two years. The salary is $50,000 CAD/year, with benefits.
How To Apply: Qualified candidates are invited to submit a cover letter and CV to Dr. Marc Jeschke at jeschke@HHSC.CA (with “Postdoctoral Fellow – Metabolism” in the subject line).
