Post-doctoral Visiting Scientist in Ecotoxicogenomics DuPont Haskell Global Centers for Health and Environmental Sciences (DuPont HGC) is seeking a Post-doctoral Visiting Scientist, who will work collaboratively with the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University on an interdisciplinary research project(s) in the area of ecotoxicogenomics. The Visiting Scientist will be physically located at Duke University.
The successful candidate will: Be involved in the design and/or conduct of in vitro and in vivo aquatic toxicology studies aimed at understanding the mechanisms by which chemicals of emerging concern (including nanomaterials and endocrine active compounds) act to exert toxicity at the molecular level, Develop and apply a variety of “omics” tools and technologies, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to help elucidate toxicity pathways by which emerging contaminants may act, Apply the knowledge gained in these experiments to inform risk assessments of emerging environmental contaminants. Success in this position will require personal independence and motivation with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a larger, multi-disciplinary and multi-institution team. There will be opportunities for cross-training, technology transfer, and research briefings among collaborators on a regular basis. Minimum requirements include a Ph.D. in Toxicology, Environmental Toxicology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Analytical Chemistry or a closely related field with excellent written and verbal communication skills. Only U.S. citizens will be considered for this position due to export control technology restrictions. Specialized training, including practical experience with toxicogenomics (e.g. proteomics, microarrays, or metabolomics) methodologies, analytical chemistry techniques (e.g. mass spectrometry, chromatography), and molecular biology protocols is required. Experience in culturing of aquatic organisms and aquatic toxicology is advantageous but is not required.
