Associate Scientist

The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. with expertise in biomedical engineering, cardiovascular physiology, right ventricular adaptation to pressure overload, and molecular biology. The ideal candidate will combine research experience in academic and biotechnology settings with current human translational research in pulmonary hypertension. The faculty member will oversee a patient registry and biorepository containing clinical data and plasma, cellular, and RNA samples collected during right heart catheterization and invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing at rest, peak exercise, and recovery. The candidate will design and execute studies of exercise-related biomarkers, genetic and clinical phenotypes, and proteomic pathways in pulmonary hypertension; interpret data; and lead manuscript preparation. The role also includes developing standardized specimen-processing and database procedures, maintaining sample quality and reproducibility, and serving as a scientific resource for investigators and trainees.
