About this position
Postdoctoral Associate – Cardiac Gene Therapy
The Laboratory for Translational Therapeutics in the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, is seeking a postdoctoral associate to support translational cardiovascular research.
The project focuses on gene therapy and gene editing for cardiovascular disease using small-animal murine and large-animal swine surgical models. Responsibilities include conducting animal disease-model studies, collecting and analyzing physiological data, performing tissue harvest, and carrying out molecular and imaging analyses such as immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and RT-qPCR.
The postdoctoral researcher will also design and execute gene-editing and molecular-cloning experiments, including vector engineering and target validation. Additional activities include contributing to grant applications and manuscripts and mentoring rotating students.
Applicants must have an MD or PhD in basic science, health science, or a related field. Previous experience is not required, although experience with ischemic cardiomyopathy, animal survival surgery, or gene therapy is preferred. The position is onsite in Houston, Texas, with a Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. schedule.
