The Department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience, Creighton University School of Medicine, is seeking two research scientists or postdoctoral fellows for an NIH funded project.
美國克萊頓大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院藥理學(xué)和神經(jīng)科學(xué)系正在為美國國立衛(wèi)生研究院資助的項(xiàng)目尋找兩名研究科學(xué)家或博士后研究員。
01.關(guān)鍵職責(zé)
Airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation are hallmarks of asthma that is clinically managed with β2-agonist bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids. Refractory asthma manifests with persistent symptoms despite the use of high-dose oral corticosteroids and long-acting β2-agonists and poses a major healthcare challenge. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of therapeutic resistance and developing strategies to overcome such resistance poses a significant unmet need.
氣道反應(yīng)過高和氣道炎癥是哮喘的標(biāo)志，通過β2激動(dòng)劑支氣管擴(kuò)張劑和吸入皮質(zhì)類固醇進(jìn)行臨床治療。盡管使用大劑量口服皮質(zhì)類固醇和長效β2激動(dòng)劑，但難治性哮喘仍然表現(xiàn)出持續(xù)的癥狀，并構(gòu)成了重大的醫(yī)療保健挑戰(zhàn)。了解治療耐藥性的分子機(jī)制并制定克服這種耐藥性的策略，是重大的未滿足需求。
1.We are seeking talented, highly motivated individuals who are broadly interested in the molecular and cellular basis of refractory asthma. Our research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of therapeutic resistance and developing new strategies to overcome such resistance in refractory asthma.
1，我們正在尋找對(duì)難治性哮喘的分子和細(xì)胞基礎(chǔ)廣泛感興趣的有才華、積極性高的人。研究重點(diǎn)是了解治療耐藥性的分子機(jī)制，并制定新的策略來克服難治性哮喘的這種耐藥性。2.Ideal candidate will be expected to develop the project independently and will also have the opportunity to interact and participate in other studies of our multidisciplinary group in the lab and throughout the department. Our research team highly values creativity and independence in a collaborative and collegial academic environment.
2，理想的候選人有望獨(dú)立開發(fā)該項(xiàng)目，并有機(jī)會(huì)在實(shí)驗(yàn)室和整個(gè)部門互動(dòng)和參與我們多學(xué)科小組的其他研究。我們的研究團(tuán)隊(duì)高度重視在協(xié)作和合議學(xué)術(shù)環(huán)境中的創(chuàng)造力和獨(dú)立性。
3.Successful candidates will have a doctorate in areas related to cell and molecular biology, immunology, signal transduction, asthma or cancer, supported by strong publications. Prior experience in airway smooth muscle cells and mouse models of asthma and/or cancer would be advantageous.
3，成功的候選人將獲得細(xì)胞和分子生物學(xué)、免疫學(xué)、信號(hào)轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)、哮喘或癌癥相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的博士學(xué)位，并得到強(qiáng)有力的出版物的支持。之前在氣道平滑肌細(xì)胞和哮喘和/或癌癥的小鼠模型方面的經(jīng)驗(yàn)將是有利的。
4.Candidates will also be asked to assist in training of laboratory staff and graduate students in research techniques as well as writing grant proposals. This is a full time, grant funded role.
4，候選人還將可以協(xié)助培訓(xùn)實(shí)驗(yàn)室工作人員和研究生研究技術(shù)以及撰寫贈(zèng)款提案，這是一個(gè)全職、贈(zèng)款資助的角色。
02.申請(qǐng)資格
?Applicants should have a Ph.D., M.D., or M.D./Ph.D. degree
?申請(qǐng)人應(yīng)擁有博士學(xué)位、醫(yī)學(xué)博士學(xué)位或醫(yī)學(xué)博士學(xué)位/博士學(xué)位
? Significant research accomplishments and scholarly promise
?重要的研究成就和學(xué)術(shù)前景
