Postdoctoral Research Positions in Vascular Molecular and Cell Biology (John Hopkins University, Baltimore)

Postdoctoral Research positions in Vascular Molecular and Cell Biology are available within the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. Positions are available to investigate signaling mechanisms of vascular cell function and vascular disease.

Our laboratory takes a multidisciplinary approach to investigate vascular function ranging from molecular analysis of cell signaling mechanisms in cultured microvascular smooth muscle cells to image analysis (multi-photon laser scanning microscopy) of signaling systems in isolated perfused arterioles. Major projects are analyzing the molecular mechanisms underlying vascular disease (including hypertension, arteriosclerosis and Raynaud`s disease), as well as mechanisms regulating normal vascular function.

Qualified applicants should have a strong background in vascular biology, with considerable experience and expertise in molecular and cell biology. A generous salary ($36,996 to $51,036 per year, commensurate with experience), and benefits package is available to successful applicants.

Application

Applicants should send their CV and the names of three references to:
