About the role
The Adam Laboratory at Albany Medical College is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join a multidisciplinary translational research program focused on endothelial biology, inflammation-resolution, and cardiovascular disease.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to a newly funded NIH multi-PI R01 investigating how endothelial inflammation-resolution pathways regulate atherosclerotic plaque stability and cardiovascular disease progression.
- Focus on the interplay between IL-6/SOCS3 signaling and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs).
- Identify new therapeutic strategies that promote vascular repair without impairing host defense.
- Engage in projects integrating advanced atherosclerosis models, endothelial-specific transgenic mouse systems, spatial biology, lipidomics, transcriptomics, and human cardiovascular specimens.
Qualifications
- Possess a Ph.D. in a biomedical science discipline.
- Demonstrate a strong record of research productivity.
- Have experience in endothelial cell biology and vascular disease.
Benefits
- Individualized mentorship tailored to each fellow's career goals.
- Regular one-on-one mentoring, guidance in experimental design and project management.
- Support in developing scientific independence.
- Opportunities to mentor graduate, medical, and undergraduate trainees.
- Active support for grant writing, manuscript development, conference presentations, professional networking, and career-development applications, including NIH T and K awards, AHA fellowships, and other extramural funding opportunities.
