Job Summary:
Job Summary:
A unique postdoctoral scientist opportunity is available within the Department of Pharmacology, at the University of Michigan Medical School. This dually mentored position will operate at the interface of basic science in G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling and translational hematology. Preferred candidates should have the knowledge or prior training in biochemistry, pharmacology, cell or molecular biology and have the desire for a truly multidisciplinary experience. It is expected that the postdoctoral scientist will perform the following activities semi-independently under the supervision of the principal investigators of both laboratories; conduct research, apply for postdoctoral fellowships, present results at national and international scientific meetings, and publish findings in peer-reviewed journals.
