A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Giovanni Ligresti to study basic and translational aspects of lung fibrosis, including epigenetic mechanisms regulating fibroblast biology, novel therapeutic targets for fibrosis, and new models for understanding sustained fibrogenesis. The work is to be conducted within a multidisciplinary laboratory featuring state-of-the-art resources, cell/tissue/animal models, and access to excellent core facilities.

The candidate will be expected to develop and execute independent research plans leading to peer-reviewed publications, should be comfortable working within an interdisciplinary group of research personnel, and possess excellent oral and written communication skills. Maximum consideration will be given to candidates with strong research motivation and initiative towards independence. Although the candidate's salary will be fully supported by intramural as well as extramural (NIH) funding, he/she will be expected to initiate progress towards independence via submission of research grant proposals.
