Compensation Range:$60,431.00 - $84,603.00
* The referenced pay range represents the minimum and maximum compensation for this job. Individual annual salaries/hourly rates will be set within the job's compensation range, and will be determined by considering factors including, but not limited to, market data, education, experience, qualifications, expertise of the individual, and internal equity considerations.
*** Responsibilities:
** Provides direct research and research training support by directing and executing small, complex research projects or major aspects of larger research projects focused on developing integrative physiology as a framework for understanding endocrine disrupting chemical mixtures effects, enhanced effects of chemical and non-chemical stressors and single consitutent effects from complex, whole mixtures, like real-world air pollution. Provide direct advice on scaling translation from spiny mice, lab mice, non-human primates and humans, including metabolic effects associated with toxicant exposures.

These experiments will support research focused on endocrine disrupting chemicals known to alter brain and whole-body metabolism and Fe-heavy air pollution, as iron is a critical co-factor for many metabolic and immunological pathways. These experiments will be critically important to develop new hypotheses on how metabolic effects underlie activity differences.
** ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
*** Collaborates on theory-based projects and papers integrating physiology into toxicology. Works independently on the aspects of the project focused on how we integrate endocrine and biochemical experiments into higher scale, organismal phenotypes like basal metabolic rate.
* Designs experimental research projects or sub-projects to integrate physiological measures of metabolism and immunology into toxicology focused on amino acid metabolism, building bridges between neurotoxicology focused on neurotransmitter production and neuroinflammation.
* Develops new hypotheses on how metabolic effects underlie activity differences. Correlate changes in metabolic rate with activity levels and food-mediated learning.
* Analyzes and evaluates experimental data and interprets results within the scope of the study. Assesses the importance of findings in relation to the general research program. Contributes to the design, interpretation, and final writing of research publications – thereby meeting expectations for co-authorship of scientific publications.
* Advising a collaborative relationship with the metabolic working group.
* Helps to develop and install equipment (Sable Systems) and operating procedures for the laboratory.
* Keeps abreast of trends in field of interest by reading current research literature and abstracting scientific articles of value in the prosecution of research problems.
