Muscle Thyroid Hormone & Metabolism Researcher

Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research; Italia; On-site; EUR 32,000 - 46,000; Full time

Job summary

The Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery at the University of Naples Federico II invites researchers to join a project studying how thyroid hormones regulate skeletal muscle function and energy balance. The work combines genetically modified mouse models and in vitro cell systems, integrating molecular biology, gene and protein expression analyses, and metabolic pathway characterization.

The successful fellow will contribute to understanding muscle-specific thyroid action and its impact

Qualifications

• Focus on molecular mechanisms of thyroid hormone action on muscle and metabolism.
• Experience with in vivo and in vitro experimental systems preferred.
• Strong analytical skills in gene/protein expression analysis.

Responsibilities

• Study thyroid hormone regulation of skeletal muscle function and energy homeostasis.
• Use mouse models and cell systems to analyze metabolic pathways.
• Integrate molecular, cellular data to interpret muscle metabolism effects.

Skills
