Postdoctoral positions are currently available for the Postdoctoral Research Training in Lung Injury and Inflammation training program supported by an NIH T32 training grant (PIs: Drs Steve Dudek and Irena Levitan). This position is not eligible for benefits. "**CAMPUS CARE ELIGIBLE for healthcare** The primary goal of our T32 training environment is the career development of the next generation of scientific leaders in the fields of pulmonary and critical care medicine in a multi-faceted research and training environment focused on the overall pathophysiologic theme of Lung Injury and Inflammation. Comprehensive training using state-of-the-art approaches will be provided along three integrated and complementary thematic pathways: 1) Molecular Mechanisms and Preclinical Models, 2) Computational and Omic Approaches, and 3) Comparative Effectiveness and Health Inequality. The new recruits will have the opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge project as part of an outstanding team of scientists of an NIH-funded Center; the position offers a unique potential to develop a productive research-oriented career. Specific projects include but not limited to: Dr. Steven Dudek: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): role of endothelial dysfunction in the development of ARDS using in vitro, in vivo, and bioinformatic models. Current projects focus on how clinically-relevant bacteria (Staph aureus) cause ARDS. Dr. Bharati Prasad: Sleep-disordered breathing research program utilizing computational approaches to develop prognostic biomarkers for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to develop enhanced treatment strategies for diverse populations with OSA through clinical trials. Dr. Israel Rubinstein: Indoor air quality and respiratory health: cutting-edge, collaborative, interdisciplinary, translational research projects linking inadequate indoor air quality to ill-respiratory health, such as asthma, COPD, infections, obstructive sleep apnea, sarcoidosis, sickle cell disease, and interstitial lung disease. Dr. Dustin Fraidenburg: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Pulmonary Hypertension: role of endothelial dysfunction in the development of pulmonary hypertension using in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models. Projects include the role of hemolysis and hemolytic anemia as a mechanism for endothelial to mesenchymal transition as well as the impact of flow and shear stress on endothelial barrier function, proliferation, and migration. Dr. Patrick Belvitch: The cytoskeletal protein regulation of pulmonary endothelial cell barrier function. The candidates should have a PhD/Doctorate Degree in physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology or other related biomedical science fields. Candidates must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident with a strong record of first author previous publications. Experience with pulmonary physiology is a plus.
