Postdoctoral Researcher

2 weeks ago


New York, United States Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Full time

Job Summary                                                                                                                       

Lab of Dr. Prashant Rajbhandari in the Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism Institute (DOMI) has an opening for postdoctoral position. Rajbhandari Lab is broadly interested in 1) Immune cell regulation of lipid metabolism (Cell 2018), 2) developmental process of brown/beige and white fat, and 3) mammary gland adipose biology (Nature 2023), and 4) crosstalk between adipose and other metabolic tissues (esp liver) in the setting of obesity (Nature Medicine, Cell Metabolism 2017,2018). To address these topics, the lab uses cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, Next-gen sequencing (ChIP-, RNA-, ATAC-seq), animal model, single cell/nuclei RNA sequencing, and imaging. The broader significance of the work in Rajbhandari Lab is that obesity is linked to various diseases and by studying how cellular and molecular pathways are perturbed in the setting of obesity might provide better understanding of this disease.


We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow with a strong background in molecular and cellular biology, as well as protein biochemistry. The ideal candidate will have experience working with both cell culture and animal models. Experience in metabolism and epithelial cell biology is an advantage. The candidate should have completed their PhD within the last 1 to 1.5 years.


Please send CV to prashant.rajbhandari@mssm.edu.
