The University of Iowa is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to join an NIH-funded R01 project studying the role of platelet, neutrophil and endothelial cell activation in thrombosis during SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans and mouse models. The successful candidate will join our Thrombosis/Vascular Biology Research Group, which uses novel genetic models to study mechanisms of thrombosis related to risk factors such as aging, diabetes, cancer, or infection. We are looking for candidates who have a passion for scientific research, high standards of ethics and integrity, outstanding communication skills, and can work both independently and as an effective member of a research team. Scholars will utilize in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo research models, as well as state of the art microscopy and genomic approaches. They will acquire new complementary skills in platelet and vascular cell physiology, small animal surgery, molecular techniques, and cell base assays. Trainees also will have the opportunity to participate in the design, execution, and interpretation of research studies with human subjects.
Education Requirement:
Candidates must have a MD and/or PhD degree
Required Qualifications:
A creative and motivated scientist planning a long-term career in scientific research, and possess a strong background in vascular biology, biochemistry, physiology, and/or molecular biology. Experience with mechanistic approaches in humans or animals and willingness to work in a BSL3 facility with mouse models of COVID-19 is required.
