Michigan State University - Posted 03/11/08
The Environmental and Integrative Toxicological Sciences program at Michigan State University has an open postdoctoral position. MSU has an excellent toxicology program with numerous productive faculty experienced in postgraduate training. Research programs of the faculty employ modern technologies at the molecular, cellular and in vivo levels to explore mechanisms by which toxicants cause tissue injury. Areas of interest include cell signaling, molecular targets, immune/inflammatory responses, gene-environment interactions, susceptibility factors, control of gene expression, hemostasis, fibrogenesis and endocrine disruption in neuronal, respiratory, hepatic, cardiovascular, and immune tissues. Toxic agents of interest include drugs, air pollutants (particulate matter, ozone, mycotoxins) and water and food contaminants (plant and microbial toxins, metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons, etc.) and others. Research funding derives from the NIH and other federal sources (EPA, DOE) and includes a multi-investigator NIEHS/EPA Superfund Program Project grant. The toxicology faculty at MSU collaborate extensively with each other and with colleagues at other academic and industrial institutions; this provides numerous opportunities for postdoctoral fellows to engage in collaborative research that broadens their investigative and networking horizons. This postdoctoral position is supported by a training grant from the NIEHS and is accordingly limited to applicants who are US citizens or permanent residents. Interested applicants should visit the website of the Center for Integrative Toxicology and send a curriculum vitae that includes a short description of research interests, training and experience and three references to Amy Swagart, Center for Integrative Toxicology, Food Safety and Toxicology Building, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824 or by email. Questions about the position should be addressed to Robert Roth, PhD, Director, EITS Training Program, by email at or 517-353-9841.
