Job Description:
Postdoctoral Fellowship: Cardiac pharmacology and physiology. There is an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in our group. The position is in the College of Pharmacy at the Ohio State University. We study pathologic changes in cardiac electrophysiology at the integrated, myocyte and molecular levels, with a specific interest in redox signaling. Current studies are focused on heart failure, atrial fibrillation and post-infarction sudden cardiac death. Experimental approaches include cardiac myocyte isolation, whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, standard molecular and immunohistochemical assays. Other techniques routinely used in the group include whole animal electrophysiologic and echocardiographic studies. There is also access through the Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute to the following core laboratories: integrated physiology, bioinformatics, flow cytometry, EPR-NMR, and proteomics. Projects are supported by grants from the NIH and competitive salaries are offered. Interested applicants should send a statement of research interest, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references.
Job Requirements:
The applicant should have a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in a relevant field, and a strong background in cardiac physiology or electrophysiology is desirable.
