Postdoctoral Fellow

Postdoctoral Position in Vascular Research

at University of Illinois at Chicago

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow. We have shown novel mechanisms mediating intravascular cell-cell interactions and vascular occlusion under thromboinflammatory conditions, including vasculitis, atherothrombosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and sickle cell disease (Li et al. JCI 2014; Barazia et al. Blood 2015; Kim et al. Blood 2017; Li et al. Circulation 2019). The fellow will study the molecular mechanism of thromboinflammation using the state-of-the-art techniques including, but not limited to, real-time fluorescence intravital microscopy, gene knockdown/editing systems, confocal/FRET microscopy, in situ and in vivo proximity ligation assays, and animal disease models.

The candidate should have

1.  a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree (preference: the candidate who is expected to receive the degree)
2.  previous experience in vascular biology and/or mouse disease models (preference: a vascular disease (e.g., inflammation or thrombosis) or MCAO-induced stroke model
3. excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, and
4. first author papers in peer-reviewed journals

The fellow should be eligible for employment in the U.S. Start date is immediate. This is a non-tenure, benefit-eligible position. PI will help the applicant develop his/her career by providing a highly interactive and exciting research environment and by encouraging the preparation of research papers, application of fellowships, and participation at national meetings.

For the consideration, please email 1) a statement of career goal (limit: 1 page), 2) a CV (limit: 3 pages), and 3) contact information of 3 referees (email address and phone number) to
