Description

The Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, is seeking a Research Instructor appointment stream to conduct research focusing on Adipose Tissue biology in relation to metabolic disease. This includes both phenotyping and mechanistic dissection of adipocytes as well as adipose tissue macrophages. Physiology experiments include adipose tissue metabolic assays such as lipolysis, browning, glucose/insulin signaling, systemic metabolic assays such as weight curves, ITT/GTT, thermogenesis, oxygen consumption, and characterizing of inflammatory cells such as macrophages in adipose tissue during states of obesity and fasting. Standard assays such as qPCR, Western blotting, microscopy, tissue sectioning, colorimetric assays, metabolites quantitation, and metabolomics/transcriptomics will be utilized. Also specialized approaches using Seahorse cellular respirometry will be utilized. The Research Instructor will also direct the Cellular Metabolic Phenotyping core in the Center for Immunometabolism. Effort Allocation: 100%25 Research Minimum Qualifications - PhD in Agricultural Science, Science, or related field. Postdoctoral experience for a minimum of 3 years with Adipose Tissue physiology/pathophysiology. All interested candidates should apply at www.join.pitt.edu using requisition #25006413.

Responsibilities

The Research Instructor will conduct research on Adipose Tissue biology related to metabolic disease and direct the Cellular Metabolic Phenotyping core. This includes performing various physiological and metabolic assays and characterizing inflammatory cells in adipose tissue.
