Please forward the following job announcement to any
interested applicants. We are planning to fill these positions as
soon as possible.
NIH POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS AVAILABLE
Two postdoctoral positions are available immediately for
combined work in the Laboratory of Cardiovascular Sciences (Edward
Lakatta, Chief) and in the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Unit (Richard
Spencer, Chief) of the National Institute on Aging of the National
Institutes of Health, located in Baltimore, Maryland. The work will
center on MR spectroscopic and imaging studies of cardiac function
and myocardial metabolism related to i) congestive heart failure and
ii) beta adrenergic stimulation of the heart as well as MR studies of
cartilage development, pathology, and cartilage tissue engineering.
Other research opportunities may be available depending on the
interests and background of the successful candidate.
NMR instrumentation consists of a double-resonance Bruker ABX
1.9T/31 cm Biospec with shielded gradients, and a triple-resonance
wide-bore Bruker DMX 400 Avance system with microimaging and solids
capability.
A background in NMR spectroscopy or imaging is preferred,
although applicants with experience in muscle and cardiac or
connective tissue physiology and a strong desire to learn NMR
techniques are also encouraged to apply. The appointment will be as
an IRTA Postdoctoral Fellow for US citizens, or as a Visiting Fellow
for US non-citizens. Accordingly, applicants must have fewer than
five years of postdoctoral experience.
Interested individuals should send their CV and the names,
telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of three references to: Dr.
