Job Description
The Cohen Lab at CU Anschutz seeks a postdoctoral fellow to be supported by the NIH T32 Critical Injury and Illness Training Program. The multiple R01-funded project centers on the protein C pathway as the mechanistic bridge between trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) and thromboinflammation. Work uses human trauma biorepository samples, validated mouse models of hemorrhagic shock, a 3D endothelial flow model, and high-throughput proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. Projects include therapeutic modulation of APC activity via nanobodies and engineered variants, endothelial barrier and calcium signaling assays, and multiomic phenotyping of post-injury states. Candidates should hold a PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, or bioengineering with experience in endothelial cell models, microfluidic/flow systems, rodent models, and/or multiomics. Strong interest in translational research at the intersection of coagulation, inflammation, and therapeutics is required.
Application instructions
This will be potentially funded by the NIH T32 program so candidates ideally should meet NIH T32 postdoctoral eligibility. Potential funding via other sources is available so consideration of a non T32 candidate is possible.
