The Hellerstein lab develops novel stable isotope-mass spectrometric techniques for measuring important biochemical, physiologic, and cellular processes in living organisms, including humans. These measurements are used as clinical biomarkers of health and disease and in the basic investigation of metabolic control and integration in complex systems. Our work centers on in vivo metabolic flux analysis, which differs from most contemporary biomedical research in several ways: technically by adding the dimension of time, operationally by requiring dynamic systems analytic methods, and conceptually by integrating disparate control factors in the final readout. Our laboratory is not defined by traditional disciplines but, by generating new methods, covers fields including metabolic disease, immunology, molecular/ molecular biology, exercise, aging, flux proteomics and metabolic fluxomics, neurobiology, and cancer. The successful candidate will have access to multiple departments, including molecular and cell biology, integrative biology, statistics, and the Center for Computational Biology, in addition to many research collaborations around the country and internationally. The position will be responsible for analyzing different metabolic systems and devising optimal flux analysis experimental approaches for a wide variety of questions and biomedical projects. Specific Duties include: Qualifications Basic qualifications
(required at time of application)
PhD (or equivalent international degree) Additional qualifications
(required at time of start)
At least 6 years of applicable work experience. Preferred qualifications
