The Schulman Lab in the Pharmacology Department at the University of Virginia seeks a Research Associate to assist investigators in examining the regulation of transcription by members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily and exploring links between lipid metabolism, inflammation, and neurological diseases. The Research Associate will oversee the day-to-day operation of projects, confer with PI in developing plans for research projects, discuss the interpretation of results, and prepare scientific manuscripts for publication.
The successful candidate will take advantage of novel mouse models developed in the lab that allow the spatial and temporal control of lipid metabolism using small molecules. This position requires experience utilizing techniques in molecular biology, physiology, pharmacology, and biochemistry and the ability to make decisions according to ethical standards.
