Available Positions

Postdoctoral Research Position (Martinod Lab)

A postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Dr. Kimberly Martinod in the Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute is open for a researcher with experience working with laboratory models of cardiovascular disease and an interest in performing research related to the contribution of neutrophil extracellular traps to immunothrombosis and to fibrotic remodeling in the heart after injury and during aging. It is expected that the researcher will work together with PhD students and undergraduate trainees whose research intersects with these projects in a collaborative capacity. Candidates should have recently earned a Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D degree(s). Expertise in cell biology, animal models, and microscopy is required. Experience with neutrophils, flow cytometry, transcriptomics, or echocardiography will be a plus. 

Interested applicants should send curriculum vitae, a brief description of research interests and career goals within a cover letter, and the contact information of three references to Dr. Kimberly Martinod at Kimberly_martinod@urmc.rochester.edu.
