Position #1: emphasis on cellular biology and tissue engineering.The successful applicant will (preferably) have a graduate degree and have expertise in one or more of the following areas:

• Cellular and molecular biology
• Stem cell biology
• Biomaterials, tissue engineering
• Regenerative medicine

Position #2: emphasis on large animal surgery. The successful applicant will be able to perform the following tasks in a large animal model:

• Cutdown, cannulization of carotid artery and jugular vein
• Exposure of bilateral femoral arteries
• Femoral arteriotomy
