A full time Post-Doctoral research position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Forman in the Division of Cardiology atthe University of Maryland, Baltimore immediately.

This position is ideal for an early-to-mid-career scientist who has recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship and is looking for a role that bridges high-level collaborative science with career independence. You will play a role in an active R01-funded program(NIH- NIA grant Adjuvant Nitrate to Boost Exercise-inducedHealth Benefits in Older Adults) while having the mentorship, resources, and intellectual freedom to develop your own independent grant proposals (e.g., K-awards, R21, or R01).

The initial role will provide effort on an NIH-funded multicenter clinical trial(BOOST-X), a randomized trial evaluating whether dietary nitrate supplementation enhances the benefits of combined endurance and resistance exercise training in older adults.
