Postdoctoral Programs in Toxicology

The MSU CIT's Environmental and Integrative Toxicological Sciences postdoctoral program in toxicology has an open postdoctoral position.

MSU has an excellent toxicology graduate program with numerous productive faculty experienced in postgraduate training. Toxicology research programs of the faculty employ modern technologies at the molecular, cellular, and at the level of the intact organism to explore mechanisms by which toxicants cause adverse effects. Areas of interest include cell signaling, molecular targets, immunotoxicology, inflammatory responses,
gene-environment interactions, susceptibility factors, control of gene expression, hemostasis, fibrogenesis, and endocrine disruption in neuronal, respiratory, hepatic, cardiovascular, and immune tissues. Agents of interest include drugs (e.g., idiosyncratic responses), air pollutants (particulate matter, ozone, mycotoxins) and water and food contaminants (plant and microbial toxins, metals, halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.). Research funding derives from the NIH and other federal sources (EPA, DOE) and includes a multi-investigator NIH/NIEHS Superfund Program Project grant.

The toxicology faculty at MSU collaborate with each other and with colleagues at other
academic and industrial institutions; providing numerous opportunities for postdoctoral fellows to engage in collaborative research that broadens their investigative and networking horizons. Some of our postdoctoral positions are supported by a training grant from the NIH NIEHS and, accordingly limited to applicants who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
