The Netherlands: Cardiovascular scientists, University Maastricht

The Maastricht Atrial Fibrillation Research Group headed by Prof. M. Allessie and Dr. U. Schotten is seeking several enthusiastic and highly motivated cardiovascular scientists.

Within different national, European and transatlantic networks of internationally recognized experts the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation will be explored and new diagnostic tools as well as therapeutic approaches will be developed. These networks are sponsored by the Dutch Research Organisation (NWO), the European Union, and the Leducq Foundation. Within these networks co-operations exist with other internationally recognized top level research groups (e.g. H. Crijns, Maastricht, Stan Nattel, Montreal, Jon Lederer, Baltimore).

The projects involve:
- Molecular and cellular mechanisms of atrial remodeling.
- Role of Ca2+ as trigger of atrial arrhythmias and mediator of atrial remodeling.
- High-density and 3-dimensional mapping of atrial fibrillation.
- Optical mapping of membrane voltage and intracellular Ca2+ and Na+ concentration during atrial fibrillation.
- Atrial-specific repolarising currents as drug targets for atrial fibrillation.

Positions are available for scientists at different stages of their career (PhD-students, post-docs). Candidates for post-doc positions should hold a PhD in life sciences (biology, physiology) or an MD in medicine with a background in cardiac physiology. Candidates should have experience either in cellular electrophysiology/Ca2+ imaging and/or larger animal models of cardiac arrhythmias. We also would like to encourage young MDs with ambitions in clinical research to apply for the positions. Together with the successful candidate we will determine the research project that fits best with your personal profile and specific interests and that would benefit most from your participation. Integration of research activities in a clinical training program in cardiology (electrophysiology) is possible. Candidates should willing and motivated to co-operate with the other network partners mentioned above which might imply traveling and short- to medium-term research stays abroad.

We offer:
- critical mass of world leading researchers dedicated to research on atrial arrhythmias.
- an extensive lab infrastructure covering the whole field of electrophysiology from patch clamp with confocal Ca2+ imaging and isolated organ set-ups to large animal facilities and advanced mapping techniques incl. Ca2+ imaging with optical mapping.
- several clinically relevant and well established animal models.
- an extremely inspiring working and teaching environment.
