世界名校University of Florida/美国佛罗里达大学人类营养科学全奖博士招生
美国名校—-佛罗里达大学人类营养科学全奖博士招生。实验室科研氛围浓厚，课题组成员之间关系非常好！老板人也非常nice，年轻有为并全身心致力于帮助学生在科研领域快速成长，欢迎相关领域有兴趣的朋友加入该团队！A Ph.D. studentship position is open for the fall semester 2020 in Dr. Zhiyong Cheng's lab (molecular metabolism and metabolic diseases) at the University of Florida. The chosen candidate will be supported by a full scholarship.
Dr. Cheng's lab seeks to understand the molecular mechanism of metabolic diseases (i.e., obesity and type 2 diabetes), with the goal of developing mechanism-based strategies for early diagnose and treatment of the diseases. Specifically, we are studying the cellular mechanism of adipocyte formation and expansion during obesity development, i.e., how FoxO1 and autophagy regulate adipogenesis and being of white adipose tissue
The University of Florida is one of the renowned universities in the US (#34 National Universities; #7 Top Public Schools according to the US News). Dr. Cheng is committed to the academic success of students in his lab, which is enhanced by his education and training experience at renowned universities (Peking University, the University of Michigan, and Harvard University Medical School). Under Dr. Cheng's supervision, the graduate students in his lab have been prepared as outstanding research scholars (e.g., postdoctoral researchers at Harvard University, and Columbia University) or teaching scholars (e.g., Houston Memorial Scholarship recipient for teaching excellence) per their career goals.
Applications are invited from those who hold an M.S. in biological sciences (e.g., biochemistry, molecular/cell biology, or a related field). Research experience in studying adipocytes, adipose tissue, and mouse models, is considered as a plus; so are peer-reviewed publications in international journals. Interested applicants should send their materials (CV, personal statement, GRE, TOEFL or IELTS, and GPA information) to Dr. Cheng at z.cheng@ufl.edu.
