POST: Postdoctoral Fellow(Vascular Development in the Zebrafish)
A fully funded postdoctoral position is available to study vascular development in the zebrafish in the laboratory of Brant Weinstein in the Program in Genomics of Differentiation (PGD) at the NICHD in Bethesda, MD. Our group uses molecular, cellular, genetic, and transgenic approaches to study the specification, patterning, and differentiation of the developing vascular system. Some of our current areas of research interest include: understanding endothelial specification and differentiation into arteries, veins and lymphatics; understanding how vessels assemble into reproducibly patterned networks and what cues guide this patterning; studying how endothelial cells undergo morphogenesis into tubular vessels in vivo using high-resolution multiphoton imaging and experimental manipulation; and isolating novel vascular-specific mutants and studying the molecular basis for their defects. Scientific environment, resources, and stipend support for this position are superb. See http://uvo.nichd.nih.gov/ for additional information on the Weinstein lab and http://science.nichd.nih.gov/confluence/display/pgd/Home for additional information on the PGD.
