Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Pharmacology & Neuro Ops
About The Position
The Department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience at Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska, seeks a Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Research Fellow for an NIH-funded project focused on refractory asthma. The research addresses airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation, which are features of asthma, and investigates the molecular mechanisms behind resistance to treatments such as corticosteroids and β2-agonists. The goal is to develop strategies to overcome therapeutic resistance. The successful candidate will be broadly interested in the molecular and cellular basis of refractory asthma and will be expected to develop the project independently. They may also participate in other studies conducted by the multidisciplinary research group. The position includes assisting with training laboratory staff and graduate students in research techniques and writing grant proposals. The role is full-time and grant-funded.
