Position: Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Application Deadline: Wednesday, May 30, 2012

Project Description:

The Joint Battlefield Health and Trauma Institute Research and Development laboratory is dedicated to improving the care given to military personnel who suffer traumatic injury. As part of this effort, the Institute develops, characterizes and uses animal models of these traumatic injuries to investigate the pathophysiology of traumatic injury as well as to develop and test novel therapeutics for the treatment of such injures in order to sustain life, and optimize functional recovery. Of those injured on the battlefield, over 70% have extremity injuries involving the soft and hard tissues. In order to develop technologies to restore damaged or missing tissues, the Institute's Extremity Trauma and Regenerative Medicine Group focuses on using animal models to develop therapeutics aimed at regeneration of muscle, skin and bone.

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will focus on advancing the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine along with methods to mitigate the effects of ischemia reperfusion. The development of new knowledge and strategies for preservation, repair, regeneration, augmentation, or replacement of musculoskeletal tissues and skin injured or physically lost due to combat related extremity or craniomaxillary facial trauma.

 

Specific Tasks:

 

·         The fellow will be expected to work as a member of the team and develop an understanding of physiology as well as the ability to use standard mechanical testing techniques to assess tissue function along with methods to address ischemia reperfusion injury from combat related injuries.

 

·         The fellow will engage in research focused on the development of techniques for isolation, purification, characterization, and differentiation of adult stem cells derived from adipose tissue. Work may also include the application of these cells as a therapeutic modality for traumatic injury.

 

·         The fellow will work to develop methods to evaluate functional outcomes in a model of ischemia reperfusion and transplant immunomodulation. The work will be completed in animal models of trauma (in vivo), bench-top models of biological systems (in vitro) and in clinical studies.

 

Suggested Education/qualifications/work experience:

 

Possess a PhD degree in either of the following areas:

• Physiology, (Vascular Physiology, preferred)
• Biomedical Sciences
• Translational medicine
