Two postdoctoral positions are immediately available to study the molecular mechanisms of mammalian cardiovascular development and cardiac stem cells at Mount Sinai School of Medicine of New York University. We are interested in deciphering the transcriptional regulatory network (e.g. Isl1, T-Box genes) of early heart development and differentiation of cardiac stem cells. For research background, please see Nature 2008, 3;454(7200):104-8; Developmental Cell 2003, 5(6):877-89 and Development 2005, 132(10):2475-87.

The positions offer a unique opportunity for talented scientists to work in a dynamic and innovative environment. Ideal candidates should be highly motivated and have obtained a Ph.D./M.D. degree with expertise in Developmental Biology, Cell Biology and/or Biochemistry with demonstrable research competence and diligence. Candidates must be able to carry out independent research under the supervision of PI and also are expected to work in a highly collaborative manner.
