Postodcotoral fellow who will investigate mechanisms of the antiadhesive actions of ATP released by the normal human red blood cell (RBC), and the proadhesive effect of banking RBCs. The lab’s larger focus is on signaling by RBC-derived mediators in the lung in health and disease. The successful applicant will lead a project using mouse and cell models to investigate this novel RBC “storage lesion.” Candidates familiar with mouse physiology, molecular and (endothelial) cell biology, and cell signaling will be at an advantage, as will those with a track record of published, high-quality research. This new, NIH-funded position is available for at least a two-year period. Salary will be commensurate with experience. The McMahon Lab is a multidisciplinary, collaborative group, and wishes to recruit self-motivated individuals with the drive to succeed and the desire to be competitive at the international level. Interested, qualified applicants: please provide a full CV, brief statement of research interests, and the contact details of 3 references. Contact: Tim J.
