Job Description
Postdoctoral position is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Ayako Makino at the University of Arizona. Area of research focuses on the vascular complication in diabetes, in particular cell-cell communication, mitochondrial function, and calcium handling in the endoplasmic reticulum in endothelial and smooth muscle cells.
Successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences, M.D. or equivalent degree. A strong record of productivity in cardiovascular physiology (dissection of arterioles from mice, isometric tension measurement, evaluation of cardiac function [i.e., LVSP, RVSP, EF], and cell isolation) is required. The postdoctoral fellow's responsibilities will include: conducting physiological and molecular biological experiments using dissected vessels from mouse and vascular cells freshly isolated from the tissue, analyzing research data using different computer software, generation of preliminary data for grant applications, writing drafts of manuscripts, coordinating with other investigators for lab research, maintaining the function of lab equipment, and managing the lab research record (including methodological approaches and animal protocols). |
