Postdoctoral Fellow in Diabetes, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Research at Weill Cornell Medicine

The Lo Laboratory at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellows. We aim to understand the basic mechanisms underlying cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, including diabetes, obesity and cardiac arrhythmias. Our NIH-funded lab uses a combination of state-of-the-art molecular techniques to complement mouse and human models of disease. Current available projects are focused on beta cell and adipose biology in the context of diabetes and cardiometabolic disease.

Candidates should have a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required. Most importantly, candidates should be creative, independent, and dedicated to building a research career. Research experience in metabolism, cardiovascular system, pancreatic islet biology, and mouse physiology is preferred. The successful candidate will join a dynamic team of scientists and will have an opportunity to develop their own project as well as contribute to many exciting ongoing research projects within the lab.
