A postdoctoral position is available in the Molecular and Investigative Toxicology Section of the Safety Assessment Department at our client’s Wilmington, Delaware site. The successful candidate will participate in a research program that focuses on problem solving in the area of the neuroendocrine control of male reproductive pathology. Research will be undertaken to understand the impact of perturbation of the hypothalamic/pituitary/adrenal (HPA) axis on the male reproductive tract. These studies will require clear understanding of genetic principles, pharmacology, cell and molecular biology, and cross-species integrative physiology. Cross species analysis of perturbations of the neuroendocrine axis and its impacts on indicators of male reproductive pathology in model organisms is desired. Strong written and oral skills, as well as team-oriented behavior are required.

• Contribute to the efficient running of the Molecular and Investigative Toxicology laboratory.
Qualifications:
• PhD in Neuroendocrinology, Pathology, Cell/Molecular Biology or related areas
• Neuroendocrine, cell, molecular, and genetic experience
• The ideal candidate should have an interest in Neuroendocrine Control of Male Reproductive Pathology
• Effective communication skills including technical writing is required.
• Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to be employed in the Unites States.
