[交流] 美国UNC Chapel Hill北卡罗莱纳大学教堂山分校 -Boa Kim Lab招聘博后

Postdoctoral Fellow
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill – Endothelial Metabolism Lab

The laboratory of Dr. Boa Kim at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow. We study how metabolism and metabolic enzymes in endothelial cells contribute to health and disease by leveraging genetically engineered mouse models, in vitro cell culture with physiological and pathophysiological stimuli, isotope metabolite tracing, metabolomics, and genome-wide crispr screening.
We are a 3-year-old lab, currently consisting of one Postdoc, one Postbac technician, one Master's student, and several Undergrad students, and we plan to recruit an additional Postdoc and a graduate student over the next couple of years.
More information about the Kim lab can be found here: https://www.boakimlab.com
Qualification:
-        We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with an interest in Vascular Biology!
-        We welcome candidates from diverse research backgrounds.
-        Prior experience in Vascular Biology is highly desirable, but not required.
Potential research topics include:
1.        Lipid droplet metabolism in vascular cells (eg. Endothelial or Smooth Muscle Cells)
2.        Metabolism in vascular diseases (eg. Atherosclerosis, Hypertension, Aortic Dissection, Lymphatic Dysfunction, etc)
Representative publications:
1)        Endothelial lipid droplets suppress eNOS to link high fat consumption to blood pressure elevation (Kim et al. JCI, 2023):
https://www.jci.org/articles/view/173160
2)        Glutamine fuels proliferation but not migration of endothelial cells (Kim et al. EMBO, 2017):
https://link.springer.com/article/10.15252/embj.201796436
3)        Endothelial pyruvate kinase M2 maintains vascular integrity (Kim et al. JCI, 2018):
https://www.jci.org/articles/view/120912
4)        HIF2α inhibits glutaminase clustering in mitochondria to sustain growth of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (Zhao et al. JCI Insight, 2025):
