We are always interested in recruiting kind, motivated, and creative scientists to join our team!
Mentoring Philosophy: The professional development of my mentees is extremely important to me. I am 100% committed to supporting each of my team members as they develop and refine their academic interests and helping each of them to identify and realize the steps necessary to achieve their individual career goals. Working as part of my team includes training in scientific techniques as well as one-on-one training in grant writing, manuscript preparation, and oral research presentations, which are instrumental to successful research careers.
Lab Values: The Rizzo Laboratory is firmly committed to providing an inclusive research environment and helping to develop and promote a more diverse scientific workforce. We value and prioritize kindness, teamwork, integrity, and curiosity.
Post-doctoral fellows who are interested in a full-time position for 2-5 years duration are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates, please send your CV or NIH biosketch and contact information for three professional references to Dr. Rizzo at rizzoa4@upmc.edu.
We also welcome medical trainees of all levels (medical students, residents, and fellows) who are interested in pursuing research projects in the laboratory in parallel with their clinical training. Please reach out to Dr. Rizzo to discuss at rizzoa4@upmc.edu.
