    <![CDATA[We are interested in the mechanisms underlying glucose homeostasis in the post-prandial state (Diabetologia, 2005: 48, Br. J. Pharmacol 2006, 1; J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2008;63:560).The project aims to understand a novel regulatory signaling network controlling insulin action at the skeletal muscle in the post-prandial state, from the molecular level up to the clinical setting. This new research area has important implications for the understanding of metabolic networks and the treatment of human metabolic syndromes, such as diabetes and obesity.
We are seeking a talented, innovative and enthusiastic researcher with a PhD awarded within the last 6 years. Highly motivated candidates with a genuine interest in metabolic regulation and genetics are encouraged to apply. Broad knowledge and adequate laboratory experience in these fields, good command of spoken and written English, and excellent communication and team skills, are required. Priority will be given to candidates with a strong expertise in the in vivo analysis of endocrine tissues development and function, glucose homeostasis, and energy balance.
The laboratory is located in a highly dynamic research environment at the Faculty of Medical Sciences in Lisbon, Portugal. Applications, including CV, list of publications, and statement of future interests should be sent to paula.macedo@fcm.unl.pt. Applicants should arrange to have two confidential letters of reference, sent directly by referees.
Funding is available for an initial period of 3 years, starting any time during the Fall of 2009 or beginning of 2010.
Deadline for the application is 15th November, 2009.
