What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Fellow — Reproductive Pharmacology position at The University of Texas Medical Branch?
Position Summary
A postdoctoral position is available in the Reproductive Pharmacology Program. The successful candidate will integrate in vitro and in vivo pharmacology with computational modeling to advance drug disposition, transport, and therapeutic development at the feto-maternal interface.
Responsibilities
- In vitro pharmacology: placental drug transporters (P-gp/BCRP) and CYP-mediated metabolism in trophoblast and related cell models
- In vivo pharmacology: PK/PD characterization, drug exposure, and disposition in animal models
- Computational pharmacology and PBPK/PK modeling of maternal-fetal drug exposure
- Manuscript preparation, conference presentation, and grant support
Required Qualifications
- PhD/MD-PhD in pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences, or related field
- Strong publication record
- Hands-on in vitro pharmacology (cell culture, qPCR, Western blot, ELISA)
- In vivo pharmacology experience (dosing, PK/PD sampling)
Preferred
- PBPK/PK modeling platforms; transporter kinetics; network pharmacology or computational screening; extracellular vesicle characterization
To Apply
