biojobs.net website.    Could you kindly sent a confirmation when the
posting has been uploaded.  Many thanks.  

 


Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Vascular Biology 


Molecular Cardiology Research Institute


Tufts Medical Center


Boston, MA


 

The Molecular Cardiology Research Institute, Tufts Medical Center,
Boston, invites post-doctoral applications for a position to study
hormonal regulation of vascular function and disease. Clinical studies
support that an excess of the hormone aldosterone promotes vascular
remodeling and atherosclerosis and that inhibition of aldosterone
interaction with the Mineralocorticoid Receptor decreases mortality,
heart attacks, and strokes.  The Jaffe lab is investigating the
molecular mechanisms by which MR-activation regulates vascular function
in order to identify new therapeutic targets to prevent or treat
cardiovascular diseases in humans.  

 

A highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow is sought with prior
experience in cell and molecular biology and mouse models. The
successful applicant will work closely with the Principal Investigator
on research projects studying the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms
controlled by vascular Mineralocorticoid Receptors and their role in
vascular function and disease. The laboratory uses state of the art
biochemical, molecular, and cell-biologic assays and mouse models of
vascular injury and atherosclerosis to address clinically relevant
questions in vascular biology.  As needed, the individual will be
required to independently develop protocols and establish new
methodologies in the laboratory.

 

MD, PhD or both required. Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
as this position is funded via an NIH institutional training grant.

 

The Molecular Cardiology Research Institute (MCRI) is an internationally
known institute with over $45M in funding that includes 17 principal
investigators studying diverse topics of molecular medicine. The fellow
will work closely with the principal investigator, her lab, and other
members of this dynamic research institute. Please visit our website at:
