Post-Doc Research Associate - Wolberg Lab

Post-Doc Research Associate - Wolberg Lab

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the Western world, and blood coagulation abnormalities contribute to the pathophysiology of nearly every disease, including cancer, infection, and autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. An NIH‑funded postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Wolberg Lab is part of UNC’s internationally recognized Blood Research Center.

Research in the lab focuses on cellular, biochemical, and biophysical mechanisms that regulate blood function and contribute to health and disease. The successful applicant will advance ongoing R01‑funded research focused on mechanisms of hemostasis and thrombosis. Potential areas of emphasis include factor (F) XIII biology, fibrin(ogen) degradation, and cellular and plasma mediators of FXI biology. Projects will be tailored to the fellow’s expertise, with the expectation that the postdoc will initially contribute to established research efforts and, over time, develop an independent line of investigation leading to future fellowship or career development funding.

Candidates with experience in biochemistry or enzymology, cell biology, histology, mouse models of thrombosis and hemostasis, and/or bioinformatics are encouraged to apply.

PhD or MD in a biological science or a related field. Candidate must have previous research experience in a scientific laboratory setting.

Candidate must have strong background in biological science and prior peer‑reviewed publications documenting scientific project leadership with skills in experimental design, data analysis, data presentation, contextualization, and writing.

Experience in blood coagulation research is strongly preferred but not required. Candidates with experience in biochemistry, enzymology, cell biology including tissue culture, histology, mouse models of thrombosis and hemostasis, and/or bioinformatics are encouraged to apply.

UNC offers medical and vision coverage, paid leave, and benefits and services that support professional development and a healthy work/life balance.
