Postdoctoral Scientist - Lee Lab
Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States, 73116
Overview
Postdoctoral Scientist - Lee Lab
Department: Cardiovascular Biology
Location: Oklahoma City, OK
The Lee Laboratory in the Cardiovascular Biology Research Program (CVB) at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) seeks postdoctoral scientists to lead research projects on immunometabolism in cardiometabolic diseases. Postdocs will investigate how immune remodeling and metabolism interact with cardiac function and electrophysiology in response to risk factor stressors. The Lee Lab, CVB, and OMRF offer state-of-the-art resources, including advanced equipment for cardiac physiology, mitochondrial and metabolic studies, flow cytometry, spatial and bulk transcriptomics, and bioinformatics analysis through the Center for Biomedical Data Sciences.
Responsibilities
Lead independent research projects focused on immunometabolism in cardiometabolic diseases.
Investigate interactions between immune remodeling, metabolism, cardiac function, and electrophysiology in response to risk factor stressors.
Conduct experiments using advanced technologies, including:
Cardiac physiology and electrophysiology assays
Mitochondrial and metabolic analyses
Flow cytometry
Spatial and bulk transcriptomics
Bioinformatics through the Center for Biomedical Data Sciences
Analyze data, interpret results, and contribute to scientific discussions.
Write and publish high-quality research articles in peer-reviewed journals.
Prepare fellowship grant applications with mentorship and support from the Lee Lab.
Collaborate with team members and external researchers as needed.
Present research findings at scientific conferences and workshops.
Minimum Qualifications
Ph.D. in a biological science, chemistry, physics or other relevant area, M.D., or equivalent.
Passionate about scientific discovery, highly motivated, and eager to contribute to advancing research.
Detail-oriented, well-organized, and able to work independently and collaboratively within a team.
Strong oral and written communication skills, including clearly summarizing and presenting research findings.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior research experience and publications in immunology and cardiometabolic diseases.
Additional expertise in echocardiography, electrophysiology, and surgical techniques for heart disease (advantageous).
Special Instructions
Apply through the OMRF portal and email an application package to Dr. Chi Fung Lee (ChiFung-Lee@omrf.org).
Cover Letter: Summarize your research interests, previous experience, and suitability for the position.
Curriculum Vitae (CV): Include relevant academic and research details.
Additional Information: Provide your expected start date and contact information for three references.
