Postdoctoral Positions:
NIH funded postdoctoral positions are available within the Vascular Physiology Group to study mechanisms of altered vasoreactivity associated with pathological conditions such as chronic hypoxia and hypertension. A variety of modern experimental approaches are utilized by investigators in the group including dimensional analysis of isolated arterioles, calcium imaging, electrophysiology, molecular biology and integrative whole animal studies. A background in physiology is desirable. Send applications to:

Applications are invited for an NIH-funded post-doctoral position to start immediately in the Kanagy lab in the Vascular Physiology Group at the University of New Mexico. This position is funded for at least 3 years at NIH postdoctoral salary levels. The fellow would participate in ongoing vascular physiology studies in a rat model of sleep apnea-induced hypertension. This model is being used to study mechanisms of augmented endothelin vasoconstriction and increased susceptibility to air pollution-induced vascular events on the background of sleep apnea. Approaches employed include ratiometric and dimensional analysis of small isolated, pressurized mesenteric and skeletal muscle arteries; molecular biology studies; biochemical assays; and hemodynamic studies using telemeter-instrumented animals. A background in cardiovascular or molecular physiology is preferred and a Ph.D. or M.D. degree required. Candidates should send a CV, brief statement of research interests and the names of 3 references to:

An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Thomas C. Resta to study influences of chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension on vasoreactivity and vascular smooth muscle Ca2+ signaling. A variety of experimental approaches are utilized including dimensional analysis of isolated, pressurized small pulmonary arteries, ratiometric calcium imaging, laser scanning confocal microscopy; electrophysiology, isolated perfused lungs and molecular biology. A background in physiology is desirable. Salary is commensurate with experience and based on current NIH postdoctoral levels. Applicants should have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree and send a cover letter, CV and names of 3 references to:
