Join Us
We are looking for motivated graduate research assistants to join our lab. Please send your current CV and names and contact information for three references to Professor Naomi C. Chesler, nchesler@uci.edu. We are also looking for motivated undergraduate research assistants to join our lab. These students will assist with ongoing projects in both experimental and computational approaches to advancing understanding of cardiopulmonary physiology and pathophysiology. Please send your current resume to cheslerlabgeneral@gmail.com.
Open Positions
Multi-scale Mechanics of Right Ventricular Failure (RVF)
A graduate research assistant position is available to study the contributions of organ- and myocyte-level dysfunction to RVF using an existing multi-scale computational model of heart function to fill gaps in our understanding of RVF. Candidates should have a BS and/or MS degree in engineering with interest in modeling and cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology and pathophysiology.
Biomechanics and Mechanobiology of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH)
A graduate research assistant position is available to study the biomechanical and mechanobiological mechanisms of pulmonary arterial hypertension as well as PH due to left ventricular failure using a combination of in vitro and in vivo methods. Candidates should have a BS and/or MS degree in engineering with interest in experimental cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology and pathophysiology.
Sex Differences in Right Ventricular Failure (RVF)
A graduate research assistant position is available to study the role of estrogen receptor alpha in organ-, tissue-, and myocyte-level dysfunction in RVF. Candidates should have a BS and/or MS degree in engineering with interest in experimental cardiac physiology and pathophysiology and sex differences.
