Postdoctoral Position in Cardiovascular Development

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Sophie Astrof at Thomas Jefferson University to study roles of cell-extracellular matrix interactions during cardiovascular development and disease. My laboratory utilizes genetics, cell biology and confocal imaging to elucidate developmental and molecular mechanisms of aortic arch artery patterning and the formation of the cardiac outflow tract. These processes are essential for neonatal viability, and defects in the formation and remodeling of the outflow tract vasculature underlie common and severe forms of human congenital defects. Experience with genetic manipulation, embryology and cell biology is desirable. My laboratory is a part of a modern and well-equipped Center for Translational Medicine at Jefferson Medical College (http://www.jefferson.edu/university/research/researcher/researcher-faculty/astrof-laboratory.html) located in the heart of Philadelphia. To apply, send a letter of interest, CV and names and contact information of three references to sophie.astrof@gmail.com
