Post-Doctoral Associate - Cardiovascular Garry Lab

About the Job

You will be responsible for designing and conducting NIH-funded research experiments pertaining to the role of transcription factor mediated networks to direct the fate of stem and iPS cells to a mesodermal fate (i.e. cardiac, endothelial, skeletal muscle); and conducting research in the areas of transcriptional regulation of cardiac progenitors, transcriptional regulation of myogenic stem cells. Representative publications from the Garry lab include:
Das S. et al. Generation of human endothelium in pig embryos deficient in ETV
2. Nature Biotechnology. 2020 38(3):297-302 and Kamdar

F. et al. Stem cell derived cardiomyocytes and beta adrenergic receptor blockade in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Cardiomyopathy. J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. ): and Singh BN et al., A conserved HH-Gli1-Mycn network regulates heart regeneration from newt to human. Nature Communication. 2018 9(1):4237.

You will be expected to collaborate with other laboratory scientists and outside scientific partners in the design, implementation, and analysis of experiments. As required, you will be expected to prepare manuscripts for submission to scientific journals and present at scientific meetings. Detailed documentation of procedures and experimental data are expected. This involves analyses of data, writing summary reports on results of work and discussing results with laboratory colleagues and the Principal Investigator.

You will be required to present independent review of relevant scientific literature for ongoing projects and discussions of possible new experimental approaches with laboratory colleagues and principal Investigator. In addition, you will be required to present regular presentations of scientific data and significant contribution to the preparation of manuscripts.

Required Qualifications:

• Ph.D required Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Biomedical or related discipline

Preferred Qualifications:

• Preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated experience developing scientific protocols and scientific writing. Submit excellent letters of recommendation.
• Expertise with molecular biological-biochemistry techniques, the use of transgenesis and knockout technologies.
