| Job Description: |
The Molecular Metabolism Laboratory (Directed by Terence Ryan, PhD) within the Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology at the University of Florida is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic postdoctoral associate to contribute to ongoing NIH funded studies investigating novel mechanisms, including the metabolic and mitochondrial abnormalities within skeletal muscle, that drive the development of frailty. These studies involve diverse experimental techniques including preclinical animal models, metabolomics and genomics, and mitochondrial and muscle physiological phenotyping and will develop interventions aimed to reduce frailty.
Research will occur in a rich training environment and postdoctoral associates in the Ryan lab receive structured mentoring by the PI and collaborating investigators in the Department of Physical Therapy and the Myology Institute. Scholars are highly encouraged to initiate new projects and collaborations and will receive regular training in grant and manuscript writing.
