Pre and Postdoctoral Fellow Positions
Postdoctoral position
available to study the transcriptional regulation and function of myosin
light chain kinase (MLCK) in vascular smooth muscle and endothelial
cells. The overall goal of our laboratory is to better understand the
mechanisms that control the differentiation and contractility of smooth
muscle cells. Toward this goal we are analyzing the transcriptional
pathways that regulate expression of smooth muscle contractile proteins
and how these pathways are controlled by epigenetic mechanisms. To do
this we are using a combination of in vitro cell culture experiments
together with tissue specific mouse knockout models. The position
available would be focused primarily on determining the role of the
130kDa isoform of MLCK in regulating smooth muscle contractility,
migration and proliferation. Using a cre/loxP system to delete key
regulatory elements within the 130kDa MLCK promoter we will be able to
specifically ablate expression of this isoform of MLCK without affecting
the expression of other products of the mylk1 gene. The applicant will
also have the opportunity to participate in other ongoing projects
within the laboratory. This is an NIH-funded position that is initially
available for two years. Priority will be given to US citizens and
permanent residents. Interested applicants please send a CV and list of
references to Dr. Paul Herring, Department of Cellular and Integrative
Physiology, Indiana University School of Medicine, 635 Barnhill Drive,
Indianapolis, IN 46202. Email:

Post-doctoral Scholar:
A Post-doctoral Scholar position in Cardiovascular Physiology Research
is available immediately in the Department of Physiology at Brody School
of Medicine, East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, in
the laboratory of Dr. David A. Tulis, F.A.H.A., Associate Professor.
The overall research focus in our laboratory is vascular smooth muscle
physiology and pathology. Specifically, we are investigating molecular,
cellular, and functional mechanisms that underlie abnormal growth of
vascular smooth muscle as integral to cardiovascular disease and injury.
Cyclic nucleotide signaling is of particular interest in these studies,
as these events regulate a wide range of homeostatic and
pathophysiologic actions. Specific areas of study include elucidation of
cyclic GMP- versus cyclic AMP-dependent processes, identification and
characterization of potential cyclic nucleotide-regulating systems,
identification of unique downstream kinase events, potential impact on
matrix/MMP and gap junction biology, and general elucidation of the
functional impact of these signals on vascular physiology. Experimental
approaches in these studies include a variety of functional, molecular,
cellular, and genetic assays and consist of whole animal models, in
vitro cell culture, and ex vivo tissue explants. Salary and benefits
will be commensurate with experience and in accordance with NIH
guidelines. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Review of
applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position
is filled. Please visit

Gokina at Natalia.Gokina@uvm.edu. (5/4/09) **
Postdoctoral position in cell biology and lung physiology is available in the laboratory of Dr. Patrick Arndt in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Minnesota. The laboratory focuses on the investigation of signaling pathways in neutrophils and their relation to acute lung injury and lung inflammation. The current project is examining the role of the syndecan family of proteoglycans on the regulation of chemokine-induced signaling in both neutrophils and a neutrophil-like cell line. Specific focus is on activation of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. Results from these studies will be extended to a mouse model of acute lung injury. Techniques utilized include immunoprecipitation, in vitro kinase assays, Western blotting, cell culture, and RNA interference. A background in cell and molecular biology as well as cell culture is preferred. Experience in murine models of acute inflammation would also be beneficial. Applicants should hold a doctoral degree (PhD or equivalent) in Biomedical Sciences. Review of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Interested applicants should send a letter of application indicating research experience and interests via e-mail to Dr. Arndt (arndt108@umn.edu). Include a curriculum vitae as well as names and contact information for 2 references. (4/8/09) ***
