About this position
Vanderbilt University Medical Center is advertising an NIH-supported postdoctoral research fellow position in vascular biology and therapeutics within the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology. The project is led by Dr. Jeff Reese and focuses on the biology of the ductus arteriosus and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), combining human transcriptomics, spatial proteomics, high-throughput drug discovery, and functional physiology to identify regulatory pathways and new therapeutic strategies.
The fellow will work across a highly interdisciplinary research environment and may gain experience in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, molecular and cellular assays, high-throughput screening, quantitative imaging, vascular smooth muscle studies, isolated vessel physiology, human tissue studies, cell culture, mouse studies, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, microscopy, image analysis, and multi-omic data integration. Training is provided in specialized vascular physiology and pharmacology methods, including microvascular myography and translational drug-validation studies.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent doctoral degree in cardiovascular biology, vascular biology, genetics/genomics, developmental biology, cell biology, molecular biology, pharmacology, physiology, bioinformatics, or a related field. The post also seeks a strong publication record, relevant research experience, and excellent scientific communication skills. Preferred experience includes advanced genomic/transcriptomic/proteomic methods, quantitative analysis of complex datasets, vascular physiology, smooth muscle biology, pharmacology, high-throughput screening, and ex vivo tissue/vessel studies.
Funding: the position is NIH-supported and tied to a newly funded R01 project period running through June 2031, offering a strong setting for sustained postdoctoral training and career development. No specific stipend amount is listed.
How to apply: send a one-page cover letter, CV, and three references (with contact details) by email to Jeff Reese at [email protected]. The post does not list a formal deadline.
