POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS AND TECHNICIAN POSITIONS

The CVRI is seeking candidates for junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows and technician positions in molecular cardiovascular and functional genomic research (see www.msm.edu/cvri). The CVRI is a NIH-funded Center of Excellence with state-of-the-art facilities. Our research laboratories are pursuing leading-edge research that incorporates genomic approaches to define the molecular basis of cardiovascular function in health and disease. The Institute has various research opportunities that include:

Gary H. Gibbons :(CVRI Director): Molecular mechanisms of vascular remodeling; the vascular transcriptome in hypertensive vascular disease.

Leonard M. Anderson :(CO-Director, Functional Genomics): The role of cell fate determinants such as the Notch family in vascular biology and disease.

Qing Song: Genetic susceptibility of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Qinglin Yang: Structure/function relations of cardiac myofibril proteins and molecular mechanisms of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.

Mukaila Akinbami: The role of pressure on vascular dysfunction.

Methode Bacanamwo:: Transcriptional regulation of genes important in cardiovascular biology.

Candidates should have a strong background in molecular biology and/or experience in cell biology and cardiovascular physiology research. Please contact the CVRI by e-mail, phone or fax, E-mail:cvri@msm.edu; Phone: 404-752-1545; Fax: 404-752-1042.
