Research in the Straub laboratory centers on endothelial redox biology and vascular remodeling. %3C/span%3E%3Cspan style=%22color:windowtext;font-size:11.0pt;%22%3EThe position will investigate how cytochrome b5 reductase 4 (CYB5R4) sustains nucleotide balance to support endothelial proliferation and ischemia-induced angiogenesis, and how these mechanisms influence atherosclerosis and inflammation. Approaches include mechanistic studies in cultured endothelial cells and mouse models, integrated multi-omics (e.g., bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, metabolomics, proteomics), quantitative imaging and causal inference, and targeted gene-delivery/rescue strategies. The long-term goal is to translate redox-metabolic mechanisms into therapeutic strategies for vascular disease. The incumbent will be encouraged to apply for grants and develop an emerging, complementary research program.%3Co:p%3E%3C/o:p%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%3Cp class=%22p1%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size:11.0pt;%22%3E%3Co:p%3E%3C/o:p%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family:%26quot;Aptos%26quot;,sans-serif;font-size:11.0pt;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:%26quot;Times New Roman%26quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:Aptos;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;%22%3ECandidates should have 5+ years of postdoctoral research experience, a strong publication record, and demonstrated expertise in endothelial/vascular biology and redox or metabolic signaling, including experience with%3C/span%3E%3Ci%3E%3Cspan style=%22line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:%26quot;Times New Roman%26quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:Aptos;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;%22%3E in vitro %3C/span%3E%3C/i%3E%3Cspan style=%22line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:%26quot;Times New Roman%26quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:Aptos;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;%22%3Eand %3C/span%3E%3Ci%3E%3Cspan style=%22line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:%26quot;Times New Roman%26quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:Aptos;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;%22%3Ein vivo%3C/span%3E%3C/i%3E%3Cspan style=%22line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:%26quot;Times New Roman%26quot;;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:Aptos;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;%22%3E models, intermediate to advance programming/bioinformatics skills, along with excellent written and oral communication skills.
