Postdoctoral Research Associate – Hematology – University of Washington, United States

Position Summary

We are looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate.

Blood 2015; Kim et al. Blood 2017; Li et al. Circulation 2019; Li et al. JEM 2022). The postdoctoral associate will study the mechanisms regulating neutrophil and platelet activation in vascular and metabolic disease, using state-of-the-art techniques, including, but not limited to, confocal intravital microscopy, gene knockdown/editing systems, animal disease models, multiplex assays, and single-cell RNA-seq.
