Yale University has a postdoctoral position available in the Bergwitz Laboratory. The lab (for details: http://yalemedicalgroup.org/find/clemens_bergwitz.profile?source=news) focuses on inborn errors of phosphate metabolism and the endocrine regulation of phosphate homeostasis with emphasis on the metabolic and endocrine effects of phosphate. They recently performed a Drosophila genome-wide RNAi knockdown screen to identify genes involved in phosphate-signaling. Their goal in the next few years will be to study the role of these genes in Drosophila and murine models. Relevant readouts for humans will be the homeostatic regulation of synthesis and secretion of PTH, 1,25-D, FGF23 by phosphate and it’s metabolic effects on life-span in genetic disorders such as familial hyperphosphatemic tumoral calcinosis (FHTC) and in chronic kidney disease. Applicants should have an MD or PhD and be energetic and highly motivated. Experience in signal transduction, phosphate homeostasis and/or work with the mentioned animal models is desirable.
