Job DescriptionPostdoctoral Fellow Opportunity in Cardiovascular Research.The interest of this academic laboratory (PI:  Babak Razani) is understanding the mechanisms of atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, and fatty liver disease with special emphasis on the roles of macrophages.  We and others have shown that perturbations in cellular processes involving mTOR and nutrient sensing, autophagy and lysosomes, and inflammatory signaling, including inflammasomes play a critical role in macrophage dysfunction and subsequent cardiometabolic disease. Some of our relevant primary papers include (Sergin, et al Science Signaling 2016 and Sergin, et al Nature Communications 2017; Evans, et al Science Signaling 2019; Zhang, et al Nature Metabolism 2020; Jeong, et al Autophag
