About this position
Pennsylvania State University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar in Medicine for the newly established Sleep-Vascular Program led by Dr. Rami Khayat at the Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The project focuses on the pathways and treatment options for hypertension and endothelial dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with translational work spanning human studies and tissue/cell models.
The scholar will lead a translational project evaluating the effects of intermittent hypoxia on sympathetic and endothelial function in humans and tissue models. The role includes participation in cardiovascular physiology studies and leadership of ex-vivo and in-vitro experiments using human tissue and cultured endothelial cells. The team uses techniques such as quantitative RNA measurements, immunohistochemistry, confocal imaging, HPLC, enzymatic assays, chemiluminescence, skin biopsy, endothelial reactivity testing, echocardiography, microneurography, and microdialysis. The program also includes NIH-funded work involving mathematical modeling and machine learning of tissue hypoxia models using sleep studies and molecular markers.
Eligibility highlights: MD or PhD completed by the start date in a biological sciences discipline or equivalent; technical laboratory background; experience with transcription regulation, imaging, tissue-on-chip, vascular biology, oxidative biology, or hypoxia research; some human research experience or required training; statistical software skills; publication record; and strong communication skills. Desired experience includes multidisciplinary collaboration and analysis software/machine learning.
Funding: This is a full-time term postdoctoral position with continuation dependent on university need, performance, and/or availability of funding. Penn State provides a competitive benefits package for full-time employees.
How to apply: Current Penn State employees and students must apply internally through Workday. External applicants should use the Workday application link provided in the posting. No deadline was stated in the post.
