Postdoctoral Research Associate - Asian American Studies

Washington University in St. Louis

<div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Position Summary</b></h1>
This position is with the Division of Endocrinology Metabolism and Lipid Research at WashU.<br>
<br>
The laboratory of Dr. Carlos Bernal-Mizrachi, Philip E. and Carolyn E. Cryer Professor of Medicine and Chief of Medicine at the St. Louis VA Medical Center, invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The laboratory is engaged in NIH-funded basic and translational research focused on the mechanisms by which prenatal vitamin D deficiency and hyperglycemia programs cardiovascular and metabolic disease across the lifespan.<br>
<br>
The laboratory has decades of experience in basic and translational research evaluating the mechanisms by which vitamin D and acute hyperglycemia modulates innate immune cells and the inflammatory milieu that contributes to the development of insulin resistance, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Ongoing work explores the following interconnected areas:<br>
<br>
<ul><li>Epigenetic programming of fetal liver HSCs by in utero vitamin D deficiency and the transplantability of hypertension and insulin resistance.</li><li>Mechanistic dissection of the vitamin induced immune program in vascular and metabolic diseases.</li><li>The effect of acute hyperglycemia and immune cell metabolism and function.</li><li>Human translational validation using the VDAART randomized clinical trial cohort (prenatal vitamin D supplementation, childhood cardiometabolic outcomes, methylation arrays).</li><li>Developmental programming of insulin resistance, adiposity, and metabolic disease.</li></ul><br>
This is an exceptional opportunity for a highly motivated scientist to work at the interface of epigenetics, immunity, vascular physiology, and human translational research, within a collaborative and highly productive academic environment.<p></p><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>

</p><p><b>Job Summary
</b></p><p>An NIH -funded postdoctoral research associate position is available immediately at the University of Utah to conduct research on how place-based features influence mortality risk among the working-age population, especially due to cardiometabolic disease as well as drug, suicide, and alcohol-related conditions. The project draws on two unique datasets that have been linked with multidimensional area- and place-based data. First, the Midlife in the United States ( MIDUS ) study includes three waves of rich psychosocial and health assessments from 1995 through 2014 and more than twenty years of mortality follow-up. Second, the Utah Population Database ( UPDB ) includes Utah death records, covering the period of 2000 through 2023, linked within families and to an extensive set of state administrative and health records. While MIDUS provides national scope and breadth of psychosocial processes, UPDB will allow for the examination of rich place-based measures with a large sample of working-age Utahans ( <i>n </i>= ~1 million adults; 188,402 deaths observed), modeling spatial processes, and considering family risk factors.
</p><p>Duties of the postdoctoral associate include preparing area-level data, data analysis, and manuscript writing. The position will entail working closely with an interdisciplinary team of investigators from the fields of lifespan development, population health, sociology, geography, and biostatistics. The associate will engage in self-directed research and team science, as they take the lead on multiple manuscripts per year and have extensive co-authoring opportunities. Advanced research training and access to university resources will be provided to help the associate prepare for a research career.
</p><p>Position Details:
</p><ul><li><p>Full-time, 12-month appointment with potential for renewal.
</p></li><li><p>Competitive salary and benefits package.
</p></li><li><p>Office, laptop, and workstation will be provided. Utah residency required; hybrid remote/on-site schedule available.
