They are seeking a motivated scientist interested in pursuing vascular biology research from the cell to the whole organism. Their research focuses on ion channels (CaV3.1/3.2 and KIR2.1/2.2) and electro-mechanical coupling in cerebral arterial resistance arteries from normal and diseased tissue. They rationalize concepts with computer modeling, then test them on cerebral arteries harvested from humans and genetically modified mice. Key techniques include myography, electrophysiology, biochemistry and magnetic resonance imaging, transgenics and genomics.
They are seeking individuals who recently completed their PhD (within the past 2 years) and with experience in vascular biology and or molecular biology. All applicants with a strong command of English are encouraged to apply.
Applications will be reviewed as received until the position is filled.
