美国密西根大学安娜堡分校骨生物学博士后职位

Position Description:
A Postdoctoral position is available to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate physiological and pathological bone metabolism, skeletal and craniofacial bone development and diseases. Our laboratory is NIH-funded and has broad interests in skeletal and craniofacial biology. In particular, we are actively investigating the role of autophagy in bone physiology and disease (such as osteoporosis), the molecular mechanisms of the bone lesion in Tuberous Sclerosis, a genetic human disease, mTOR signaling in bone development, and small GTPases as well as tyrosine kinase signaling in the regulation of osteoblast function. We use a variety of genetically engineered mouse models combined with cell culture to gain insight into the regulation of intracellular signaling in vivo in disease processes.
Requirements:
We are interested in recruiting self-motivated, recent Ph.D (or equivalent degree) graduates with the drive to succeed. Candidates with a strong background in cell and molecular biology are encouraged to apply. Experience in signal transduction, autophagy, bone biology, and mouse models will be a plus.
How to Apply: Please submit your CV and statement of interest to Dr. Fei Liu at feiliu@umich.edu.
