University of Tennessee Health Science Center-Physiology

NIH-funded postdoctoral position immediately available to study physiological signaling mechanisms which contribute to neurovascular coupling and pathological alterations which underlie cerebrovascular disease. Projects include studying arterial smooth muscle cell and endothelial cell ion channels. Approaches include the extensive use of inducible and cell-specific transgenic mouse models, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunofluorescence, super-resolution microscopy, in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, arterial myography, laser speckle contrast imaging, and blood pressure telemetry. Lab members receive in-depth mentoring and training to pursue their career goals. This position includes a full benefits package. Experience with neuroscience and cardiovascular physiology is preferred, but not necessary. Required qualifications include a PhD or MD in physiology or a related field.
