- The Peirce-Cottler laboratory has the following postdoctoral positions open:
A major focus of the project will be to investigate the role of sphingosine-1 phosphate receptors on inflammation, circulating stem cell recruitment, and microvascular growth and remodeling. Applicants should have a strong background in cell biology, molecular biology and physiology, as well as proficiency in hands-on laboratory techniques such as cell culture, immunohistochemistry, and (ideally) small animal surgery experience. This work is being done as a part of a collaboration between Drs. Edward Botchwey (Dept. of Biomedical Engineering), Shayn Peirce-Cottler (Dept. of Biomedical Engineering), and Wamhoff (Dept. of Medicine, Cardiology Division). The position will remain open until filled.
To apply for this postdoctoral position, please send a cover letter, CV, brief statement of research accomplishments and career goals, and contact information for three references to Dr. Shayn Peirce-Cottler (smp6p@virginia.edu).

The Papin laboratory has the following computational systems biology postdoctoral positions available in collaboration with the Peirce-Cottler laboratory:
- This individual will reconstruct and analyze intracellular signaling networks of smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. These network models will interface with an agent-based model of an atherosclerotic plaque and will be further validated by comparison with experimental measurements on ApoE -/- knockout mice. This work is being done in collaboration with Dr. Shayn Peirce-Cottler and other researchers at the University of Virginia as part of a larger investigation of plaque progression in atherosclerosis.
The primary role of this postdoctoral fellow will be to develop an approach for integrating computational models and experimental data across multiple spatial and temporal scales to investigate plaque progression in atherosclerosis. This project is in collaboration with Dr. Shayn Peirce-Cottler and other researchers at the University of Virginia, including another postdoctoral researcher in the Papin Lab (see above).
Excellent communication skills and a Ph.D. in bioengineering, bioinformatics, chemical engineering, or in biochemistry, molecular biology with strong experience in a quantitative field, are required. Individuals with computational modeling and experimental systems biology expertise particularly relevant to the current project areas are especially encouraged to apply. The positions will remain open until filled.
To apply for any of these postdoctoral positions, please send a cover letter specifying the position(s) for which you are applying, CV, brief statement of research accomplishments and career goals, and contact information for three references to Dr. Jason Papin (papin@virginia.edu).
