Postdoctoral Positions

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in William Arendshorst’s lab, Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology, UNC-CH.

One project focuses on G-protein coupled receptor stimulation of cytosolic calcium signaling involving ryanodine receptor mediated calcium-induced calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of smooth muscle cells of small glomerular arterioles. Cytosolic calcium concentration is measured using ratiometric imaging of Fura-2 and an inverted microscope.

A second project concerns the role of different calcium signaling pathways in proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells in culture and arterial medial hypertrophy in vivo in response to hypertension and flow-mediated remodeling. Support is through NIH-NHLBI funding. Highly motivated individuals with a PhD or MD and strong publishing record in relevant areas should send a letter or email explaining research interests and expertise, a curriculum vitae, and names of references to William J. Arendshorst, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology, Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC, 27599; arends@med.unc.edu.

The Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity

As part of a continuing commitment to advance underrepresented scholars in higher education, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is pleased to announce the availability of 5 positions in the Carolina Posdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity. Postdoctoral Scholars will spend essentially full time on research, but will be allowed to teach no more than one course per year. Applications for study in any discipline represented at the University are welcome.
