We are excited to share a postdoctoral fellowship opportunity in the NIH RO1-funded Ray Laboratory within the Renal-Electrolyte Division at the University of Pittsburgh. We are seeking candidates interested in pursuing research at the intersection of renal physiology, hypertension, and peripartum physiology.

Our laboratory focuses on integrative and mechanistic studies spanning:
• Hypertension and cardiovascular disease
• Renal magnesium handling and electrolyte physiology
• Neonatal and maternal health
• Bone mineral density and systemic mineral metabolism

Approaches in the lab include:
• Mouse models of health and disease
• Cell culture systems
• Transcriptomics and systems biology
• Immunofluorescence microscopy
• Western blotting and molecular assays
• Renal Tubular electrophysiology
• Bone anatomy and Micro-CT

The position is well-suited for individuals interested in developing an independent research trajectory in renal physiology, cardiovascular disease, or reproductive physiology.

Candidates must have a PhD, MD, DO, or equivalent degree.

Note that we are not able to sponsor visas for international scholars at this time, and priority will be given to those who are U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, or have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence at the time of appointment.
