Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Cardiology and Metabolism

A Postdoctoral Fellow position is currently available in the laboratory of Dr. Leigh Goedeke in the Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. If you are interested in helping to shape a new research group at one of the world’s leading academic medical centers, this just might be the right position for you to consider.

In the Goedeke lab, we are interested in understanding how altered mitochondrial function–and more broadly metabolism–contributes to residual cardiovascular disease risk. Using a combination of in vivo physiology, molecular biology, stable isotope tracer methodology and integrative multi-omics, we aim to define the critical metabolic pathways that underlie atherosclerotic plaque progression and vulnerability. We are currently focused on two integrated areas of research: 1) identific...
