| Position Summary | About the Position: A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Zenhui Chen to investigate the cell biology of critical membrane proteins in cardiac myocytes. This emerging new area of research focuses on understanding the critical molecular and cellular pathways by which sarcoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane proteins distribute to their respective subcellular domains. We are interested in understanding how dysregulation and misdistribution of critical cardiac membrane proteins can alter calcium cycling and membrane conductance. Our lab combines innovative tools of protein biochemistry, unique immunological reagents, and confocal fluorescence microscopy. About the School and Department: The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine in the Department of Medicine has multiple research laboratories conducting studies in various aspects of cardiovascular diseases, including but not limited to electrophysiology, genetics and pulmonary hypertension. The Krannert Cardiovascular Research Center’s (KCVRC) Clinical Trial Office participates in multiple clinical studies related to clinical cardiology. There are ACGME approved cardiology training programs in cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, heart failure and adult congenital heart disease. The KCVRC has, as its charge, the interdisciplinary advancement in understanding, preventing, and treating cardiovascular diseases, translating basic discoveries to favorably impact the cardiovascular health of the people of Indiana and beyond. The Center aims to advance the capabilities of high impact programmatic teams and a pipeline of talent to establish around strong pillars and cross-cutting themes in cardiovascular science. As the nation’s largest medical school, IUSM is committed to being an institution that not only reflects the diversity of the learners we teach and the patient populations we serve, but also pursues the values of diversity, equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence. We desire candidates who enhance our representational diversity, as well as those whose work contributes to equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for our students, staff, and faculty. IUSM strives to take an anti-racist stance, regularly evaluating and updating its policies, procedures, and practices to confer equitable opportunities for contribution and advancement for all members of our community. We invite individuals who will join us in our mission to advance racial equity to transform health and wellbeing for all throughout the state of Indiana. |
