Postdoctoral Associate

**Job Description**
An open Postdoctoral Associate position is available in the Achanta Lab, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), at Duke University School of Medicine. The position focuses on studying pulmonary diseases following toxic chemical exposures, with the goal of developing medical countermeasures and identifying biomarkers of chemical inhalation exposures. The research employs in vitro, rodent, and non-rodent models, utilizing various techniques such as ELISA, multiplex MSD panel assays, flow cytometry, bulk and single-cell sequencing, proteomic approaches, and cardiopulmonary physiological readouts. Extensive training in these techniques will be provided, and the role is viewed as preparatory for a full-time academic or research career, with an expectation to publish research results.
