Dear Colleague,
Please note that two paid postdoctoral research associate positions in the fields of cardiac imaging, cardio-metabolism/immunology,
In years to come, the goal is to build on the recently published paper in Nat Commun(https://www.nature.com/
 |
Intramyocardial hemorrhage drives fatty degeneration of infarcted myocardium – Nature Communications It is unclear why hemorrhagic myocardial infarctions (hMI) are destined for adverse outcomes. Here, the authors show that hMI drives fatty degeneration of infarct territories and contributes to adverse remodeling of the heart, which can be mitigated via timely depletion of iron within the hMI zone. |
I am seeking candidates who are willing to commit to at least 2 years of work on their respective projects. Given the translational & interdisciplinary nature of the work using large animal models (farm pigs, Yukatan minipigs, etc.) and state of the art clinical imaging modalities (hybrid 3.0T PET/MRI scanner), the ideal time frame for this position would be 3 years.
The successful applicant will be expected to participate as lead author in publications arising from this work and to communicate findings in oral presentations at national and international conferences. Strong emphasis will be placed on career development, communication skills, grantsmanship, and interdisciplinary research.
Qualified applicants for the open positions should have a recent MD, PhD or MD/PhD degree and a strong research interest in cardiovascular sciences. Successful applicant will be generously offered an NIH guideline-based salary and benefits.
The job opening was officially posted few days ago:
Applicants are invited to apply either online or send a cover letter, CV & summary of previous research experiences to ivan.cokic@cshs.org.
Should you (or the candidates from your institution) require any
Sincerely,
