The Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh is looking to fill a Postdoctoral Associate position in the lab of Dr. Juliane Beier.
The candidate will be conducting research in the areas of liver disease and tumorigenesis, which are executed through multi-disciplinary and cross-institutional collaborations. Specifically, this project focuses on the mechanisms by which environmental chemical exposures that are not overtly hepatotoxic, may modify the risk of liver disease.

Dr. Beier's lab is seeking competitive candidates who have recently earned a Ph.D. and/or MD degree and possess effective written and verbal English communication skills as well as outstanding critical thinking and problem-solving skills. A Ph.D. must have a focus in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology, toxicology, or a related biomedical field. Experience and skills in cell and molecular biology are required. The salary is commensurate with experience and based on current NIH guidelines.
Applicants are kindly requested to submit their cover letter, curriculum vitae, and research statement to the University of Pittsburgh's Talent Center, position 22001817. The review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
