Musculoskeletal Biology and Metabolism Research: The Griffin Lab is seeking applicants for an NIH-funded postdoctoral position to study the effects of aging and obesity on the development of osteoarthritis. The Lab supports an interdisciplinary environment to study how biophysical signals regulate musculoskeletal function via activation/deactivation of metabolic and inflammatory pathways in animal and cell model systems. The Griffin Lab works closely with other members of the Free Radical Biology and Aging Program to understand how the downstream production of mitochondrial-derived pro- and anti-oxidant responses function as signaling mechanisms in health and disease.

One postdoctoral fellow positions and one Staff Scientist position are available in the Terkeltaub laboratory at the Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego to study cellular and molecular mechanisms of osteoarthritis. Studies will examine the role of chondrocyte adaptation to stress and innate immune signals, and matrix-cell communication and mechanotransduction in osteoarthritis and cartilage aging. Projects incorporate cellular and molecular biological approaches (including gene knockdown and expression profiling), histological and immunohistological imaging, and in vivo modeling and murine genomics. There will be many opportunities to benefit from the rich and diverse scientific environment of UCSD and through our established collaborations. A suitable candidate must have a PhD degree with a strong background in cell and molecular biology. Experience with chondrocyte biology and/or in vivo OA modeling would be a plus. In your letter of application, please comment on why you would like to do postdoctoral studies in our laboratory, and how your own training makes you a suitable candidate. Position is available immediately and salary is negotiable according to previous experience.
