Other Opportunities
University of Washington
The University of Washington has a postdoctoral position immediately available to study the effect of p27 on collateral artery development in response to hindlimb ischemia. The laboratory focuses on factors inhibiting and stimulating arteriogenesis and angiogenesis using rodent models. This is part of a collaborative research group studying arterial remodeling and arterial response to injury and a member of the University of Washington Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine.
The South Lake Union research facility at the University of Washington is an outstanding environment for vascular biology. There are multiple core facilities for working with rodent models, including a FACS core, Imaging core, and histology core.
This position requires experience with working with rodents. Experience with molecular biology, cell culture, and flow cytometry are desirable, along with good communication skills, as is eligibility for NIH postdoctoral fellowships. Candidates with a PhD or MD that are interested in vascular biology and arterial remodeling are encouraged to apply.

Stanford Cardiovascular Institute – Stanford University
Stanford Cardiovascular Institute (CVI) offers postdoctoral training fellowships for MDs and PhDs in three different research areas: vascular disease, myocardial biology, and cardiovascular imaging. These NIH-funded T32 programs balance rigorous research training with directed educational curricula and career-development opportunities with the goal of producing independent researchers. The programs emphasize career development, publications, oral presentations, and grant submissions as the means of achieving this goal.
All CVI training programs have common elements: fellows select a primary mentor with whom to work, and a co-mentor to provide additional perspective, techniques, and other resources; regular evaluations of both the mentors and the fellows ensure consistent progress; a focus on career development provides each fellow a rich set of skills with which to move ahead. The CVI supports each of these programs with courses, seminars, and an annual retreat

Harvard-Longwood Research Training in Vascular Surgery
This training program, the Harvard-Longwood Research Training in Vascular Surgery program, currently in its 19th year is designed to provide two years of intense basic and outcomes research training in vascular surgery for academic clinicians.
Trainees carry out their research projects under the guidance of a faculty advisor, selected from 20 renowned vascular researchers based at Harvard Medical School hospitals: the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's, Children's Hospital, the Joslin Diabetes Institute, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Scences. Laboratory training is supplemented by graduate level training at Harvard Medical School and Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, with course selection complementing laboratory endeavors.
Applicants should be US citizens or permanent residents who are resident physicians, and have completed either two or three years of surgical residency or five years of clinical training (i.e. are board eligible). Only those applicants with career goals in academic surgery, with a keen interest in basic research in vascular surgery, will be compatible. Candidates pursuing a fellowship during a program of clinical training must provide evidence that they will be accepted back into that program upon completion of their research training.
Selection is based on merit only, without bias to gender, race, color, or ethnic origin.

University of Pittsburgh - T32
The Division of Vascular Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh has an active National Institutes of Health T32 "Vascular Surgery Research Training" grant intended to support the training of academic vascular surgeon-scientists, as well as non-clinicians scientists interested in vascular biology with a strong translational component, bridging the gap from bench research to clinical care. The grant supports trainees interested in basic science research or clinical and translational research in cardiovascular disease under the supervision of leaders in the student of vascular biology, hemostasis, and nitric oxide biology, as well as clinical and translational research. Trainees will acquire the investigational tools and experience that will serve as the groundwork for an academic career in either basic or clinical vascular research. This two-year training program is open to surgeon-scientists who wish to pursue academic vascular surgery careers. The program is open to trainees who have completed 2-3 years of general surgery or integrated vascular surgery residency training. While the main targets for this training grant are vascular surgery trainees, exceptional non-clinician scientists who desire vascular research training with greater clinical application may also apply. Trainees will be assigned a primary mentor as well as team of secondary mentors that bring complimentary expertise to their areas of investigation. Applicants must be permanent residents or citizens of the United States and have already completed doctoral training with an MD or PhD degree. Applications of women and minorities are strongly encouraged. Positions are available for July 1, 2013.

The Division of Vascular Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh has a two-year VascTrain post-doctoral research program to support basic science or clinical research training as part of a career in academic vascular surgery. Basic science trainees will start with an introduction to basic/translational research methods followed by a mentored research experience. Those interested in clinical research will take coursework designed for outcomes, population based, and translational research with the option to obtain a Masters degree. This will be followed by mentored research.
Trainees must be MD or MD/PhD with interests in academic vascular surgery. Trainees with a PhD must demonstrate a strong interest in vascular biology.
The VascTrain program is supported by an NIH training grant for the training of academic vascular surgeon-scientists. The focus areas in basic research include endothelial biology, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide vascular therapy, angiogenesis, wound healing, bioengineering of vascular grafts, aortic aneurysm modeling, and innate immunity. For those interested in clinical research, the emphasis will be placed on translational skills, comparative effectiveness, and population based analyses. These trainees will benefit from degree and nondegree programs through our Institute of Clinical Research Education.
