Postdoctoral Fellow & Senior Research Scientist

Positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Tessa J. Barrett at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Our laboratory is dedicated to elucidating the mechanism and regulation of platelet-mediated complications in atherogenesis, thrombosis, and inflammatory diseases.

Platelets are key players in thrombosis and hemostasis, inflammation, and immune activation. We investigate novel platelet signaling pathways that contribute to cardiovascular risk using clinical data, mouse models, and cell culture. We are currently recruiting for a postdoctoral and a research scientist to investigate novel signaling pathways in platelets to join our team determined to reach results that change the way we treat and diagnose cardiovascular diseases (Nature Comm. 2024; Thromb Haemost. 2023; Cell Reports. 2021; Science Translational Medicine 2019.).

The ideal candidate holds a PhD and/or an MD in biological sciences or biomedical-related fields. Candidates must have a solid background in one or more of the following fields: thrombosis and hemostasis, immunology, and/or atherosclerosis. We seek a creative and driven individual with a strong publication record, ideally with expertise in platelet or myeloid cell physiology, cardiovascular research, molecular biology, flow cytometry, and/or imaging/microscopy. Experience in high throughput sequencing study design and interpretation (e.g., CITE-seq, ATAC-seq) is highly desired.
