Postdoctoral Fellow

Department/Unit:
Molecular & Cellular Physiology

Work Shift:
Day (United States of America)

Salary Range:
$0.00 - $0.00

The Fredman Laboratory in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology (MCP) at Albany Medical College (AMC) is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join a dynamic and collaborative research team focused on the mechanisms governing inflammation, resolution, aging, and cardiovascular disease.

Our research program investigates how defective resolution of inflammation (or inflammation-resolution) contributes to atherosclerosis, aging-related cardiovascular disease, and vascular cognitive impairment. Using state-of-the-art approaches including lipidomics, single-cell RNA sequencing, advanced imaging, flow cytometry, and genetically engineered mouse models, we seek to understand how endogenous inflammation-resolution pathways regulate tissue repair and how these pathways can be harnessed therapeutically. Current projects focus on specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), immune cell reprogramming, endothelial biology, and aging.

The successful candidate will join a highly interactive scientific environment and receive direct mentorship from Dr. Gabrielle Fredman. AMC provides an outstanding training environment with access to cutting-edge core facilities, a vibrant cardiovascular and inflammation research community, and a comprehensive Postdoctoral Development Program (PDP) that supports career advancement through grant writing, leadership training, scientific communication, and professional development opportunities.

Qualifications

Applicants must possess a Ph.D. in a biomedical science discipline and demonstrate expertise in several of the following areas:

• Biochemistry, cell/molecular biology, and/or immunology
• Flow cytometry, basic cell culture, immunofluorescence
• Bioinformatics and analysis of large-scale omics datasets
• Mouse models of disease
• Proficiency in PowerPoint, Excel, Prism and R

Strong communication skills, scientific independence, and a demonstrated record of productivity are highly desirable.

Application Instructions

Interested applicants should submit a cover letter describing their research interests and career goals, a current curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references.

The Fredman Laboratory is committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive research environment and encourages applications from candidates with varied scientific backgrounds and experiences.
