The Tomar Laboratory (tomarlab.org) at Wake Forest University School of Medicine is currently offering a postdoctoral position focused on research in cardiovascular physiology. We are looking for highly motivated candidates dedicated to advancing our understanding of mitochondria, calcium signaling, and protein-quality-control in cardiac health and heart failure. This role is supported by significant funding from the National Institutes of Health, various private foundations, and Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Our team employs a comprehensive range of scientific methods, including protein biochemistry, calcium imaging, metabolism and bioenergetics, confocal and electron microscopy, mouse genetics, and physiology. This interdisciplinary environment offers an exceptional opportunity for advanced training and research development. This postdoctoral position is an excellent opportunity for candidates aiming to develop a diverse set of skills in state-of-the-art research techniques and to contribute to impactful scientific discoveries within a supportive academic setting.
