You will play a role in an active R01-funded program(NIH- NIA grant Adjuvant Nitrate to Boost Exercise-inducedHealth Benefits in Older Adults) while having the mentorship, resources, and intellectual freedom to develop your own independent grant proposals (e.g., K-awards, R21, or R01). The initial role will provide effort on an NIH-funded multicenter clinical trial(BOOST-X), a randomized trial evaluating whether dietary nitrate supplementation enhances the benefits of combined endurance and resistance exercise training in older adults.

Key Responsibilities

• R01 Project Leadership: Oversee and execute coreexperiments, protocol design, and data management for an ongoing,NIH-funded R01 project.
• Independent Research Development: Conceptualize andpilot independent scientific questions that align with the broaderlab mission; actively prepare and submit mentored or independentgrant applications.
• Scientific Dissemination: Lead the writing, submission,and revision of high-impact peer-reviewed manuscripts; presentresearch findings at major national and internationalconferences.
• Mentorship & Supervision: Assist in training andguiding graduate students, other postdoctoral fellows, and researchtechnicians in advanced exercise physiology methodologies andscientific writing.
• Methodological Oversight: Maintain high standards oflaboratory techniques (e.g., invasive/non-invasive exercisetesting, metabolic profiling, muscle biopsies, vascular testing, ormolecular analyses).
