Recruit

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of California, Irvine anticipates an opening for a full-time position in the Project Scientist Series to join the Perinatal Research Laboratory to investigate an emerging role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the regulation of uterine and placental hemodynamics. The lab is currently focusing on advancing the understanding of the physiological role of augmented H2S interacting with nitric oxide signaling in uterine and placental angiogenesis and vasodilation in pregnancy, whether impaired H2S signaling contributes to preeclampsia, and whether protein sulfhydration serves as the primary signaling route for H2S to elicit its proangiogenic vasodilatory effects in the uterine and placental circulations.

Candidate must possess a PhD in a biology-related field and a demonstrated career focus in basic science perinatology research. Preference will be given to applicants with at least three years of postdoctoral training in translational perinatal research, established academic productivity, and willingness to work on NIH-funded research projects. The successful candidate will be strongly encouraged to develop independent research projects in relevant areas for future career development.
