Massachusetts General Hospital is an Equal Opportunity Employer. By embracing diverse skills perspectives and ideas we choose to lead. Applications fromprotected veterans and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged.
This position is only available to US citizens or US permanent residents. Individuals on a temporary visa are not eligible. The anticipated start date is 7/2015. Inquiries should be made by March 1 2015.
The candidate (PhD MD/PhD or MD) will ideally have experience in 1 basic vascular biology related to thrombosis atherosclerosis or injury/restenosis; and 2 in vivo vascular imaging (optical MRI nuclear intravavital microscopy intravascular catheter imaging). Specific experience in cell/molecular biology (cell culture microscopy protein and gene analysis immunohistochemistry immunofluorescence FACS analysis) and animal models of vascular disease is highly desirable.
The environment is collaborative and interdisciplinary requiring excellent oral and written communication via NIHfunded T32 training programs based in the MGH CVRC or MGH Radiology are available to outstanding candidates. Extensive collaboration among the faculty trainees and accomplished investigators throughout the MGH Harvard Medical School and MIT communities further increase the Programs scientific impact. Broad exposure to highly motivated scientists and committed mentors with an emphasis on individual scientific excellence provide the conditions for the successful training of leaders in the use of these important technologies in cardiology.
Qualified and interested candidates should please send your CV an outline of your research interests and names and addresses of three references by email to: A. Jaffer MD
