#LI-CC1 Department Overview The Knight Cardiovascular Institute (KCVI) is recognized as a top integrated center for cardiovascular clinical care, translational research and professional training in all aspects of heart and vascular disease. Guided by a multi-disciplinary approach, researchers and clinicians drive a vibrant translational research program, which focuses on delivering the latest knowledge and cutting edge care to patients. Specifically, research at KCVI seeks to improve patient outcomes by achieving earlier diagnosis of disease, more accurate monitoring of its progression, and tailoring therapy to the molecular basis of disease. Function/Duties of Position The Sports Cardiology and Cardiomyopathy Sections within the Knight Cardiovascular Institute (KCVI) seek a staff scientist with expertise in translational biology to support translational and clinical research in exercise and in cardiomyopathies. Working under supervision, the staff scientist will design and conduct experiments to assess pathophysiology, multiomics, and response to interventions in cardiomyopathies and in exercise. Additionally, in collaboration with the clinical research team, multiomics studies on patients undergoing exercise or other intervention trials will be conducted. The duties of the staff scientist are meant to bridge the bench-to-bedside continuum working with physician scientists focused on cardiomyopathies and sports cardiology, which includes designing and conducting experiments, drafting and executing protocols, assisting in grants applications, and overseeing the lab activities where multiple researchers work on the same lab mission. The staff scientist will collaborate closely with clinical research staff to ensure appropriate handling of protected health information (PHI) and adherence to institutional, sponsor, and regulatory requirements for research data.
