The Tiley Lab is seeking to fill a temporary Research Scientist/Scholar position with expertise conducting research on quantitative targeted proteomics using LC-MS/MS in tissues and cells from humans. This project will be funded by the NIH-NICHD InTEC UC2 Grant. Active dates: July 1-September 1 2025. The Integrated Transporter Elucidation Center (InTEC) is a consortium of multiple universities that aims to advance our understanding of how placental transporters impact the disposition of endobiotics, xenobiotics, and overall pregnancy health. Funded by NICHD, InTEC utilizes novel technologies to profile the SLC and ABC transporter proteome, predict and validate novel substrates and regulators of placental transport, and simulate maternal-fetal disposition using a vascularized placenta-on-a-chip. The University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, Eshelman School of Pharmacy, Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics (DPET) is part of InTEC and is seeking to identify placental transport proteins measurable by targeted proteomics and to create new methods to improve detectability of transport proteins. The division works closely with all InTEC institutions (Rutgers University, Tulane University and the University of Pennsylvania) and with other divisions within the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy.
