美国北卡罗来纳大学招收免疫学博士后

A POSTDOCTORAL POSITION at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill is available immediately to study the structure, function and metabolism of enzymes of glycerolipid metabolism related to obesity, hepatic steatosis, and/or insulin resistance.  Applicants should have a recent PhD in physiology, biochemistry or a related field, a strong interest in mammalian lipid metabolism, an excellent publication record, and experience in one or more of the following topics: mouse energy metabolism and physiology, lipid biochemistry and metabolism, cell biology, or protein structure and function.  Our current research asks why an excessive liver content of triacylglycerol impairs hepatic insulin signaling, why the functions and regulation of the isoenzymes of triacylglycerol biosynthesis differ under different physiological conditions, and how proteins interact to channel acyl-CoAs and other lipid intermediates into different metabolic pathways.
