Temporary Postdoctoral Scientist - Freeman Lab

Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation • Oklahoma City, OK

1d

About The Position

The Freeman Lab is seeking to hire a Postdoctoral Scientist to work on NIH and VA aging research projects that examine neuroinflammatory changes in the CNS with ages, between sexes, and in models of Alzheimers Disease pathology. These projects utilize transgenic mice with cell-type specific labeling and inhibition of specific signaling molecules that allows for cell type-specific understanding of these processes. These projects involve extensive flow cytometry analysis to characterize, track, and sort cell types and phenotypes. These projects also integrate animal behavior, biochemical assessments, and state-of-the-art sequencing, and imaging. The lab environment is highly supportive of learning new techniques for molecular biology, neuroimmunology, proteomics, epigenetics, and bioinformatics. The ideal candidate will be innovative, collaborative, and highly motivated who can work independently but also with other investigators of varied training experience. The environment within the Aging Research Community at OMRF/OKC VAMC/OUHSC is rich with opportunities for students and postdocs. Aging research (Geroscience) is a cross-institution thematic priority and the program has grown dramatically in recent years through the addition of new faculty, the Oklahoma Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging and the Geroscience Training Program (T32).
