job description:

Post-doctoral Scholar: A Post-doctoral Scholar position in Cardiovascular Physiology Research is available immediately in the Department of Physiology at Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, in the laboratory of Dr. David A. Tulis, F.A.H.A., Associate Professor. The overall research focus in our laboratory is vascular smooth muscle physiology and pathology. Specifically we are investigating molecular, cellular, and functional mechanisms that underlie abnormal growth of vascular smooth muscle as integral to cardiovascular disease and injury. Cyclic nucleotide signaling is of particular interest in these studies, as these events regulate a wide range of biological actions. Specific areas of study include elucidation of cyclic GMP- versus cyclic AMP-dependent processes, characterization of cyclic nucleotide-regulating systems, identification of downstream kinase events, analyses of matrix/MMP and gap junction biology, and elucidation of the functional impact of these signals on vascular physiology. Experimental approaches include functional, molecular, cellular, and genetic assays and consist of whole animal models, in vitro cell culture, and ex vivo tissue explants. Salary and benefits will be commensurate with experience and in accordance with NIH guidelines. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
