Postdoctoral Fellow in Vascular Cell Signaling

A Postdoctoral Fellow position is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Wayne Orr studying the role of vascular cell signaling mechanisms in atherosclerosis. The Post-doctoral Fellow will join an NIH-funded program examining how cellular interactions with the arterial microenvironment contribute to endothelial and smooth muscle cell phenotype during plaque development. In association with the Department of Pathology and Translational Pathobiology and the Center for Cardiovascular Diseases and Sciences (CCDS), the fellow will be exposed to extensive training and networking opportunities in vascular biology, career development workshops, and opportunities for intramural fellowships through the CCDS.

Applicants must have received a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. within the last 0-2 years in cell biology, biochemistry, pathology, or related disciplines and possess a strong publication history. Candidates with a background in vascular cell biology or cell signaling are particularly encouraged to apply. English competency is required. Please send a C.V. and names of three references to: A. Wayne Orr, Ph.D., Professor and Vice Chair, Research Division, Department of Pathology and Translational Pathobiology, LSU Health - Shreveport, Shreveport, LA 71130. Email: wayne.orr@lsuhs.edu.
