About this position
Postdoctoral Fellow for Cardiovascular Development and
Regeneration
- A Fulltime Postdoctoral Fellow position is immediately available in
- Dr. Deqiang Li’s Laboratory, in the Center for Vascular and
- Inflammatory Diseases at the University of Maryland School of
- Medicine. This position is supported by a newly awarded NIH R01
- grant and an American Heart Association foundational award.
- Research in my laboratory is focused on understanding the
- mechanisms of cardiovascular development and disease. In
- particular, we are interested in identifying the novel signaling
- pathways that regulate myocardial development or govern
- cardiomyocyte differentiation and maturation by using in vitro and
- in vivo approaches.
- Cell and mouse model systems, including induced pluripotent stem
- cells (iPSCs) and conditional gene knockouts will be used in these
- research projects. Many state-of-the-art techniques are employed,
- such as CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing, AAV, single cell RNA-Seq and
- ChIP Seq, confocal microscopy, multicolor flow and sorting,
- surgical models, ultrasonic and telemetric measurements of
- cardiovascular function in mice.
- The University of Maryland School of Medicine was ranked 12th in
- U.S. News and World Report's 2021 rankings of "Best Medical
- Schools: Primary Care", and 34th in "Best Medical Schools:
- Research". It is located in the downtown of Baltimore city, part of
- greater Baltimore-Washington DC area, within 40 miles to the NIH.
- The University of Maryland School of Medicine has a group of
- outstanding scientists in cardiovascular research, especially in
- cardiovascular cell signaling, development and regeneration.
- Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work with them
- and get help in developing an independent career in this research
- field.
- Interested candidates should send your CV and contact information
- for three references to Dr. Deqiang Li. @
