Faculty Positions

Renal Pathologist

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry currently seeks an anatomical/surgical pathologist with subspecialty expertise in renal pathology, including primary renal disease and renal transplantation. The successful applicant will have MD or MD/PhD degrees or equivalent, be board certified or eligible in AP or AP/CP, and have had fellowship training in renal pathology or a minimum of 2 years experience in renal biopsy interpretation. Faculty appointment will be commensurate with experience and training. The appointee will participate in resident and medical school teaching and be active in clinical, translational, or basic research. The appointee also will have opportunity to participate in other service activities in Anatomic Pathology. The University of Rochester Medical Center has busy adult and pediatric nephrology units, highly successful renal, liver, and heart transplant programs, and an active regional renal biopsy referral service. There are multiple opportunities for collaborative research and/or for development of clinical initiatives through interactions with members of other departments and entities throughout the Medical Center, including those in the Cancer Center, the Cardiovascular Research Institute, and the new Aab Institutes of Biomedical Sciences in the fields of cancer biology, immunology, aging and genetics. Interested individuals should send their CV and a list of three references to:

Postdoctoral Fellowships

Research: Bone Pathology

Applications are invited from suitably qualified individuals to study the role of NF-kappaB and src signaling in osteoclasts, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. Applicants should have experience in bone cell biology and in signal transduction by factors such as NF-kappaB and AP-1. The fellow will further explore the role of these in bone cell function in normal and disease states. Please submit a current CV and names of referees by e-mail to Brendan Boyce (brendan_boyce@urmc.rochester.edu).

Research: Cardiology

Postdoctoral fellow position is immediately available in the study of voltage-gated cardiac K+channel modulation by kinases. Candidates should have a strong background in cellular electrophysiology. Although previous experience in cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology is not required, preference will be given to individuals with training and/or expertise in one or more of these areas. Please send a curriculum vitae and a statement of research interest to Dr. Haodong Xu, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Ave, Rochester, NY 14642. E-mail: Haodong_Xu@URMC.Rochester.edu

Research: Leukemias

Postdoctoral positions are available immediately at the University of Rochester to investigate molecular mechanisms in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome using the mouse as a model system. Our lab focuses on the zinc finger oncoprotein EVI1, and has developed a number of genetic models to investigate its function. Please send CV and names of three references to Archibald S. Perkins (archibald_perkins@URMC.rochester.edu).

Research: PLSCR Gene Family

We are recruiting Ph.D.'s & M.D.'s to participate in various NIH-funded research projects relating to the molecular structure and function of members of the phospholipid scramblase (PLSCR) gene family. Projects are aimed at elucidating participation of PLSCRs in diverse signaling pathways underlying proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Gene knockout mice are available for these studies. Successful applicants will have expertise in either molecular and cellular biology, animal physiology, protein chemistry, or structural biology. Interested individuals should submit their CV and the names of three references to Therese Wiedmer (therese_wiedmer@urmc.rochester.edu) or Peter Sims (peter_sims@urmc.rochester.edu).
