Postdoc in Translational Cardiovascular Research at Department of Biomedical Sciences
4 weeks ago
We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc for a 2-year part-time position, to commence as soon as possible or after agreement. The position is available at the Cardiac Physiology Laboratory at the Department of Biomedical Sciences.
The position will incorporate hands-on work with translational research and in-vivo modelling of cardiovascular diseases and supervision of bachelor/master/PhD students.

Our research
Our primary research focus is investigating how cardiac arrhythmias emerge due to electrical and structural remodeling. We are an interdisciplinary group of both basic science researchers who collectively aim to elucidate cardiac electrophysiology and structural remodeling with a specific focus on ion channels, inflammatory pathways and their associated proteins and functions. In certain in- and ex-vivo disease models, we utilize different molecular, biochemical, pharmacological and electrophysiological investigations in order to understand how disease states affect the mechanical and electrical function of the heart. Our goal is to incorporate basic science findings with findings from our clinical counterparts and collaborators in order to provide a holistic understanding of cardiac arrhythmias and eventually improving clinical outcome of patients with arrhythmias.
