We are currently recruiting graduate students. Contact Seth if you are interested, and check out the list of former Robia lab alumni who have gone on to fame and fortune. A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Seth L. Robia in the Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology, Loyola University Chicago. We seek talented applicants from a range of fields including biochemistry, physiology, biophysics, bioengineering, and structural biology. Our lab investigates molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular disease, with a special focus on the structural dynamics and interactions of membrane proteins. Projects Our lab is working on a diverse array of biological questions, so the specific postdoctoral project will depend on the candidate’s interests and expertise. Selected projects are listed below as examples:
Methods We use a variety of experimental approaches, and prospective postdocs could utilize their expertise in (or become trained in) any of the following:
Environment The Robia lab is located in a new building, the Center for Translational Research and Education, which opened in 2016. Our lab is on the top (5th) floor of this building, with views of a forest preserve and the Chicago skyline. The top two floors of the CTRE contain the labs of faculty in the Cardiovascular Research Institute. This puts the Robia lab in close proximity with collaborators who share similar research interests. We are lucky to work in a very collegial and collaborative atmosphere as part of the Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology in the Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola University Chicago. Our campus is located in Maywood, 12 miles west of downtown Chicago, Illinois. This location in the near-west suburbs makes it an easy commute whether you want to live in the city or the suburbs. To apply, please send a single pdf file containing a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names of references to: Seth L. Robia, Ph.D., srobia@luc.edu . |
