Postdoctoral Fellow: Mechanistic Lung Toxicology

Purdue University; West Lafayette (IN); Vor Ort; USD 52.000 - 68.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Purdue University seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow to advance NIH-funded research on inhalation toxicology and immunotoxicology. The work combines cell culture and mouse models to study how pollutants drive lung disease in susceptible populations, using advanced mass spectrometry to uncover mechanisms.

The candidate will perform in vitro and in vivo exposures, supporting translational insights and future leadership in toxicology. Office: West Lafayette, IN.

Qualifikationen

• PhD in a relevant field and strong interest in mechanistic toxicology.
• Experience in cell culture, mouse handling, in vitro/in vivo exposures, and basic molecular biology techniques.
• Background in lung biology or immunology is preferred.

Aufgaben

• Perform mechanistic toxicology research using cell culture and mouse models.
• Investigate particulate matter, engineered nanomaterials, and environmental pollutants on pulmonary injury and immune dysfunction.
• Apply mass spectrometry techniques to study biological mechanisms.
• Collaborate across teams to advance the lab's goals.
