Predoctoral position in vascular biology in Institut de Recerca del Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau of Barcelona

The Group of Regulatory Mechanisms of Cardiovascular Remodeling at Institut de Recerca del
Hospital de Sant Pau (IRHSCSP) seeks for a highly motivated predoctoral student to join our group
through a CIBERCV contract. The position involves working with a trans-disciplinary team of scientists
studying the pathophysiological basis underlying atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.

Our group has been pioneer involving new genes in endothelial activation and cardiovascular
remodeling underlying atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Our
studies are focused on the role of nuclear receptors and extracellular matrix modifying enzymes
involved in the onset and progression of these diseases. The position involves working with
transgenic animal models recently developed by our group, human samples and vascular cell cultures
using molecular and cellular biology techniques.

Candidates with Bachelor degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy or similar
and a good academic expedient (> 8; 1 to 10 scale) are invited to apply. Preference will be given to
candidates with previous experience in research. Interested candidates should send a brief cover
