The Molecular Biology Section of the Translational Medicine Branch is recruiting a motivated postdoctoral candidate who has obtained a Ph.D. and/or M.D. within the past five years. Of particular interest to our laboratory is uncovering the role of tumor suppressor p53 in regulating the mitochondria for energy and oxidative stress handling that affects cardiovascular function and tumorigenesis (Nature Communications 1(1):1-8; Science, 312(5780):1650-3; Nature Medicine 7:1111-7). We are also more broadly interested in the role of oxygen handling and homeostasis in disease pathogenesis. To this end we are using in vitro and animal models and human translational studies.
The ideal candidate should have a strong molecular and basic research background demonstrated by first-author publications. The successful candidate will be offered stipend commensurate with experience and supported with the excellent intramural resources and environment of the main NIH campus.
