Pennington Biomedical Research Center, a world-renowned academic research institute of Louisiana State University, is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Human Translational Physiology Laboratory.This is a postdoctoral fellowship in the Human Translational Physiology Laboratory for training in energy balance and carbohydrate metabolism research, under the mentorship of Dr. Eric Ravussin. The fellowship will provide training in clinical and translational research, clinical trial management including pharmaceutical trials, as well as develop skills in critical thinking, manuscript writing and grant writing necessary for establishing an independent research career. Specific expertise will be developed in understanding and performing measurements of energy balance (intake and expenditure), physical activity and body composition in metabolically healthy or unhealthy people with overweight or obesity.The fellow will join a large multidisciplinary team and receive hands-on training in ongoing NIH and pharma funded clinical trials. Importantly, data analysis and writing via access to existing datasets will be encouraged. To this end, past studies of lifestyle, dietary and/or pharmacological interventions will be analyzed to understand how body weight, adiposity and insulin resistance impact physiological function across the lifespan.Major ResponsibilitiesClinical trial managementBehavioral intervention execution, data collection, data analysis, and preparation of data for publication in peer-reviewed journalsHypothesis generationGrant writing and scientific communicationMentoring undergraduate studentsRequired QualificationsDoctoral degree in Human Physiology, Nutrition, Kinesiology or related disciplines.Show strong scientific credentials in the field of weight management.Have a minimum of five (5) academic publications.Excellent communication and writing skills.Pennington Biomedical Research Center (PBRC) is an equal employment opportunity employer and serves as a model employer for individuals with disabilities.Additional Job Description:
