Postdoctoral Fellow

Two postdoctoral fellow positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Qinghang Liu in the Department of Physiology & Biophysics at the University of Washington, Seattle.  The laboratory investigates molecular mechanisms of cardiac remodeling and heart failure. The NIH-funded projects focus on programed necrosis in the pathogenesis of heart disease (e.g., JCI 2022;132(4):e152297; Circulation 2017;136(8):729; Circulation 2014;130(24):2162). The laboratory utilizes multi-disciplinary approaches including cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, mouse genetics, and cardiovascular physiology to understand the molecular basis of heart disease. Details on research areas can be found at:

We seek highly motivated individuals with a PhD/MD degree and a strong background in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, or a related field.  Experience in cardiovascular biology, animal surgery, and/or mouse genetics is desirable.  We offer a competitive salary higher than the current NIH

guidelines. Qualified applicants should send a brief cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information of three references to: Qinghang (Chris) Liu, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Physiology & Biophysics, University of Washington, Seattle. Email: qcliu@uw.edu
