Postdoctoral Positions in Molecular Toxicology/Environmental Disease
Center for Molecular and Cellular Toxicology
Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology
College of Pharmacy
The University of Texas at Austin
Austin, Texas
Fellowship positions at the postdoctoral level are available in a NIH/NIEHS sponsored T32 training program in molecular toxicology and environmental disease. The focus of the training program is to prepare trainees for careers that address the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which environmental agents instigate toxicity and disease. Faculty mentors come from a wide variety of scientific disciplines and departments, including Pharmacology and Toxicology, Nutrition, Biochemistry, Marine Biology, and Civil and Environmental Engineering. Therefore, trainees have the opportunity to explore diverse areas of toxicology and environmental health related research. Ideal applicants will have strong academic records of achievement and previous laboratory experience in the basic sciences, and a desire to develop a career in toxicology/environmental disease. Fellowships are available for 2–3 years. After working with a mentor, fellows will be trained to develop and submit an individual NRSA-type grant proposal by the end of the second year of training for continued support. Applicants should hold a MD or a Ph.D. in toxicology, pharmacology, molecular and cellular biology, or related field. Minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply, however the funding mechanism restricts fellowships to U.S. citizens, noncitizen nationals, and permanent residents of the United States only. Start date is negotiable, stipend commensurate with experience (NIH scale). The University of Texas at Austin is an equal opportunity employer.
