Research Fellow, Translational Medicine Branch
NHLBI is recruiting for a Research Fellow within the Translational Medicine Branch. The successful candidate would join a group of investigators examining the molecular and cellular biology of vascular regeneration and vascular wound repair in vascular diseases. The focus of the research is to augment our understanding of the complex interaction of local vascular cells, vascular progenitor cells and infiltrating inflammatory cells during vascular remodeling. The research work will integrate advanced tissue imaging, array approaches and conditional lineage/pathway tracing and knock out animal models.
More detailed information about the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research may be found at: http://dir.nhlbi.nih.gov/ .
Requirements: Applicants will have a Ph.D., and/or a M.D. with postdoctoral experience in advanced molecular and cellular biology. Prior studies in vascular biology, immunology and conditional knock out mice models would be advantageous.
How to Apply: Closing date for receipt of applications is September 4, 2009. Applicants should send a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and the names and contact information of three references to:

Future Positions in the Division of Prevention
and Population Sciences
The Division of Prevention and Population Sciences is going
through an exciting period of expansion. The Division supports,
conducts, and initiates population-, community-, and clinic-based
research on the causes, prevention, and clinical care of
cardiovascular diseases. Research includes a broad array
of population-based epidemiologic studies; clinical trials
of interventions to prevent disease; studies of genetic,
behavioral, socio-cultural, and environmental influences
on disease risk and outcomes; and studies of the application
of prevention and treatment strategies to determine how
best to improve the quality of clinical care and public
health. Examples of programs we support include the Framingham
Heart Study, the Hispanic Community Health Study, the Women’s
Health Initiative, the Action to Control Cardiovascular
Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) trial, and the HMO-based nationwide
Cardiovascular Research Network (CVRN). Among our research
growth areas are physical activity, behavior-oriented clinical
trials, health services research, and vascular risk prevention
beginning in childhood.
- Program Director / Health Scientist Administrator in Clinical Applications and Prevention Branch
Advise and participate in the initiation, development, management, and evaluation of research projects, including multi-center clinical trials of cardiovascular disease prevention, including behavioral/lifestyle factors, health services/outcomes research, and women’s health. Participate in policy formulation and scientific direction.
Requirements: US Citizenship and PhD or equivalent doctoral degree. Expertise in intervention research in 1) the role of nutrition, physical activity and other behavioral factors (e.g., smoking) in the primary and secondary prevention of CV disease; 2) prevention and treatment of obesity and other risk factors related to cardiovascular disease; 3) community based approaches to primary or secondary prevention of CV disease is preferable.
- Program Analyst in Clinical Applications and
Prevention Branch – 2 positions available
Plan, evaluate, and manage activities central to effective
branch operations, including coordination of activities
related to NHLBI Advisory Council processes, oversight of
grants administration, development and implementation of
timetables for work products, and management and evaluation
of Branch initiative development processes.
Requirements: US Citizenship and
BS/BA, RN, or MS/MPH degree or equivalent. Preference will
be given to RN, or MS/MPH in health sciences, management
or relevant discipline; knowledge of quantitative analysis
techniques (including financial analysis and complex program
operations); and knowledge and mastery of general administrative
and management principles.
- Clinical Studies Coordinator in Epidemiology Branch – 1 position available
Manage protocol development and budgets; ensure protocol compliance with NHLBI guidelines; collaborate with data coordinating centers to prepare manuals of operation and other study documents; manage study site monitoring, performance evaluation, and training; function as an integral member of teams that initiate, develop, implement, monitor, and evaluate epidemiological investigations.
Requirements: US Citizenship and RN, MS/MPH, or PhD in health sciences or related discipline. 3-10 years experience in conducting or evaluating clinical or epidemiological research; and expertise in assessment of quality of study data and the safety and welfare of human subjects are preferable.
Future Positions in the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases
The Division of Cardiovascular Diseases (DCVD) provides leadership for a national and international extramural program in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) that integrates basic science and clinical research, including translational research, networks, and multicenter clinical trials. It designs, conducts, supports, and oversees research on the causes and prevention and treatment of diseases and disorders such as atherothrombosis; coronary artery disease (CAD); myocardial infarction and ischemia; heart failure; arrhythmia; sudden cardiac death; adult and pediatric congenital heart disease; cardiovascular complications of diabetes and obesity; and hypertension. It also supports and oversees research in vascular medicine and biologyand valvular, cerebral, renal, peripheral, and other cardiovascular disorders . The DCVD fosters biotechnological research in genomics, proteomics, nanotechnology, imaging, device development, cell- and tissue-based therapeutics, and gene therapy, and in their uses as they relate to CVD. It also supports training and career development programs in cardiovascular research at all educational levels from high school students to academic faculty, including programs for individuals from diverse populations.
- Program Director / Health Scientist Administrator/Medical Officer
in the Advanced Technologies and Surgery Branch (ATSB)
ATSB promotes the translation promising scientific and technological advances from discovery through pre-clinical studies to clinical trials. Areas supported by ATSB include:
- Diagnostics, including proteomics, genomics and other biomarker technologies, and imaging for disease identification and therapy guidance;
- Therapeutics, including tissue, cell and gene-based therapies, regenerative medicine, and development of devices for cardiovascular support and repair;
- Surgery, including improved surgical and image-guided approaches, and evidence-based clinical research to translate new therapies, technologies and surgical practices into clinical use;
- Enabling technologies such as bioinformatics, computational and systems biology, bioengineering, nanotechnology, and personalized medicine.
Program Director will manage and develop research portfolios in the areas of biomedical imaging, medical physics, and electronics; serve as the focus for coordination of this area of biomedical research supported by other NIH institutes, other government agencies and private organizations; participate in Institute-wide and NIH-wide committees and activities related to the scientific area of interest; attend meetings of study sections, review committees, and Council to provide policy, technical and scientific information; and provide critical scientific advice to the Branch Chief and Division Director.
Requirements: US Citizenship and PhD, or MD, or equivalent doctoral degree. Candidates are expected to be scientists or bioengineers with expertise in one or more of the following areas related to cardiovascular disease: biomedical imaging, medical physics, image processing, electronics, biomedical sensing devices, and diagnostic instrumentation.
The Office of Education of the Division of Intramural Research coordinates and assists recruitment for all research training on the NIH campus. Programs are available within the Laboratories and Branches within the Division to provide specialized research training for high school students, college students, graduate and medical students, postdoctoral fellows and medical residents and fellows. The Office of Education provides assistance to applicants at each of these levels. NHLBI is committed to improving the representation of under represented groups, including minorities, women, and scientists with disabilities in the mainstream of basic and clinical research. The Office of Education website will provide you with more information and a way to apply for open positions.
