Postdoctoral Positions in organ-associated lymphatic vasculature in health and disease

Job Description


Postdoc positions are immediately available in Dr. Guillermo Oliver’s and Dr. Beatriz Sosa-Pineda’s laboratories at the Feinberg Cardiovascular and Renal Research Institute in downtown Chicago. The projects are a close collaboration between the two laboratories. We are looking for highly motivated individuals who recently obtained a PhD. or MD degree and have a strong background in the use of mouse models, and experience in cell and molecular biology.

The Sosa-Pineda lab works in mouse models of acute pancreatitis, one of the leading causes of gastrointestinal disease characterized by transient local inflammation of the pancreas, tissue damage resolution, and noticeable changes in the lymphatic vasculature. The available position is to investigate the role of the lymphatic vasculature in the progression and resolution of pancreatitis using available mouse models.

The Oliver lab investigates different aspects related to our recently identified functional roles of the lymphatic vasculature in organ growth and regeneration. We use mouse models to characterize the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which lymphatics-secreted paracrine factors regulate those processes, with a particular focus in the developing heart and in cardiac injury.

Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae, a brief description of their research interests, and the names of three references to:
