POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School
A postdoctoral fellow position is available for a motivated scientist to study the role of extracellular acidosis and carbonic anhydrases in the regulation of pulmonary vascular homeostasis, cardiac metabolic profile and/or skeletal muscle function. The candidate should have a recent MD, PhD, or MD/PhD in the biological sciences, the ability to work independently, and a good background in cellular and molecular biology techniques and/or animal physiology and/or high throughput studies and/or epigenetic studies. Our research is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of pulmonary hypertension as a systemic disease and novel approaches to treat it. We are using classical methods of gene and protein analysis, cell biology functional studies, high throughput studies, and animal physiology studies. Interested applicants should e-mail a brief description of research interests and curriculum vitae that includes contact information for three references to Dr. Helen Christou, Department of Pediatric Newborn Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston MA. hchristou@bwh.harvard.edu
