Postdoctoral Fellow - In Vascular and Cardiac Immunology

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available to study the immunology of vascular and cardiac remodeling and inflammation. The group focuses on the immunoregulation and immunotherapy of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and other lung inflammation-related pathology with a special interest in pulmonary hypertension, vascular and cardiac remodeling. The role of the resistin family of protein cytokines, the NLRP3 inflammasome and their downstream pathways are actively being pursued at multiple levels including cell and molecular biology, pathophysiology, biomarker and development of therapeutics. Critical skills include a strong technical expertise in biochemistry and molecular biology, imaging, in the context of vascular and immunobiology. Highly motivated PhDs with a strong publication record are encouraged to apply. 

Send application letter, CV and contact information of three references to Dr. Roger Johns (rajohns@jhmi.edu).
