A new Post-Graduate
Researcher (PGR) position
is available immediately to assist two faculty members and a Staff Research
Associate in performing experiments to study the pathogenesis of asthma in a
mouse model of this disease. Initially, the PGR will assist in exposures of

animals; embedding, sectioning, staining, and evaluation of lung tissue and
lavage samples from the mice; and micro-dissection of airways from fixed lung
tissue. Eventually, the PGR will also assist in performing experiments to measure
physiological responses of the lungs of these animals during and after exposures.
The applicant should have basic knowledge of biochemistry, physiology, and anatomy.
They should have prior laboratory experience (or ability to learn) working with
laboratory animals (mice). Flexibility in doing different parts of this project
