Dr. Ming Xu’s Lab in University of Connecticut (UConn) Center on Aging is seeking for highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researchers for aging research. Dr. Xu received postdoctoral training in Mayo Clinic for 6 years to study cellular senescence. He has published several 1st-author papers including 2 Nature Medicine (one in press), PNAS, elife and the Journals of Gerontology (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=ming+xu+kirkland).  Dr. Xu will join UConn in this coming June as a faculty member with adequate startup funding and several other grants. The Xu lab will use novel animal models, primary human cells, and human tissues to investigate the roles and underlying mechanisms of cellular senescence in a variety of age-related conditions including frailty, compromised resilience, insulin resistance, bone loss and others. We are looking for candidates who are interested in aging research. Prior experience in aging or senescence research is not essential. Candidates should have a PhD degree in biology or should be close to obtaining their doctoral degree. Preference will be given to candidates with strong background in mouse studies including procedures and tests, molecular cloning, cell culture and immunostaining. UConn Health has recently partnered with the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine with access to state-of-the-art new and renovated research facilities. UConn offers NIH standard salary (47,500 to 65,000) with excellent benefit package. Curriculum Vitae and three references should be sent to Ming Xu, Ph.D. Email: mixu@uchc.edu
