A major focus of the project will be to investigate the role of sphingosine-1 phosphate receptors on inflammation, circulating stem cell recruitment, and microvascular growth and remodeling.
Applicants should have a strong background in cell biology, molecular biology and physiology, as well as proficiency in hands-on laboratory techniques such as cell culture, immunohistochemistry, and (ideally) small animal surgery experience. This work is being done as part of a collaboration between Drs. Edward Botchwey (Dept. of Biomedical Engineering), Shayn Peirce Cottler (Dept. of Biomedical Engineering), and Brian Wamhoff (Dept. of Medicine, Cardiology Division).
Location: Charlottesville, VA
xcellent communication skills and a Ph.D. in bioengineering, bioinformatics, chemical engineering, or in biochemistry, molecular biology with strong experience in a quantitative field, are required. Individuals with computational modeling and experimental systems biology expertise particularly relevant to the current project areas are especially encouraged to apply. The position will remain open until filled. To apply for this postdoctoral position, please send a cover letter, CV, brief statement of research accomplishments and career goals, and contact information for three references to Dr. Peirce-Cottler.
