Postdoctoral Fellow

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.
