Burn injury and tissue regeneration researchers at the Metis Foundation and their affiliates at the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) and San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) are seeking candidates for postdoctoral positions. Qualified candidates must be highly motivated, independent individuals with an MD or a Ph.D. in bioengineering, physiology, cell biology, microbiology, or a related field. Preference will be given to US citizens and Veterans. Candidates must have exceptional laboratory and written communication skills and the ability to work both independently and cooperatively within a team. Experience with clinical research or pre-clinical studies with large and/or small animals, tissue culture, histology and molecular biological techniques are pluses. The successful candidate will be joining a research program that focuses on the repair/reconstruction of skin wounds and infection control to improve burn wound clinical outcomes. Emphasis is placed on understanding the basic mechanisms of wound healing and scar formation, as well as transitioning products from pre-clinical studies to clinical trials performed at the USAISR Burn Center and/or SAMMC. The USAISR is co-located with San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) in San Antonio, TX, which enables the research organization to have a unique in-depth understanding of combat injuries and civilian trauma and the clinical challenges faced by the physicians and surgeons who treat them. This creates a unique environment with postdoctoral fellows able to do both basic and translational research. To apply, applicants must submit their curriculum vitae, a brief description of research interests and career goals, and email contact information for three references.
