Descripción del empleo

The Li Laboratory in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated, organized, and detail-oriented Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join an NIH -funded research program investigating the molecular mechanisms by which Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase (sodium pump) signaling and sex hormones regulate thrombosis, vascular inflammation, and cardiovascular disease.

The successful candidate will work in a collaborative and multidisciplinary research environment focused on cardiovascular biology, vascular inflammation, and thrombotic disease.

This is a full-time, benefits-eligible, at-will position. The successful candidate will complete a three-month probationary period before transitioning to an annual appointment, contingent upon satisfactory performance and continued funding.

• The ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative research team.


• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.


• Strong organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail.


• Experience working with laboratory animals, particularly mice.


• Demonstrated experience with standard molecular and cellular biology techniques, including PCR , quantitative PCR , Western blotting, immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence, molecular cloning, co-immunoprecipitation, and related methods.


• Experience in mammalian cell culture, transient or stable gene transfection, and functional cellular assays.


• Proficiency with ImageJ/Fiji, GraphPad Prism, Adobe Creative Cloud (e.g., Illustrator and Photoshop), and other scientific data analysis, visualization, and data management software.
