美国加州大学圣地亚哥分校博士后研究院职位招聘–心血管基础生物学、生理学、疾病病理学

The Molecular Cardiology Program in the division of Cardiovascular Medicine / Department of Medicine at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) is looking for multiple talented Postdoctoral Fellows to enter an NIH / NHLBI funded T32 training program.

The research of the faculty in the Program is focused on cardiovascular basic biology, physiology, disease pathobiology, and related translational pursuits. Primary areas that the faculty focuses on are 1) cardiac signaling, 2) cardiac development, regeneration, and stem cell biology, 3) cardiac genetics and epigenetics and 4) cardiac bioengineering.

Faculty mentors that can sponsor trainees and their general area of research is found below.
