About the role

A full time Post-Doctoral research position is available in thelaboratory of Dr. Daniel Forman in the Division of Cardiology atthe University of Maryland, Baltimore immediately. This position is ideal for an early-to-mid-career scientist who has recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship and is looking for a role that bridges high-level collaborative science with career independence. You will play a role in an active R01-funded program(NIH- NIA grant Adjuvant Nitrate to Boost Exercise-induced Health Benefits in Older Adults) while having the mentorship, resources, and intellectual freedom to develop your own independent grant proposals (e.g., K-awards, R21, or R01). The initial role will provide effort on an NIH-funded multicenter clinical trial(BOOST-X), a randomized trial evaluating whether dietary nitrate supplementation enhances the benefits of combined endurance and resistance exercise training in older adults.

Key Responsibilities: R01 Project Leadership: Oversee and execute coreexperiments, protocol design, and data management for an ongoing, NIH-funded R01 project. Independent Research Development: Conceptualize andpilot independent scientific questions that align with the broaderlab mission; actively prepare and submit mentored or independentgrant applications. Scientific Dissemination: Lead the writing, submission, and revision of high-impact peer-reviewed manuscripts; presentresearch findings at major national and internationalconferences. Mentorship & Supervision: Assist in training andguiding graduate students, other postdoctoral fellows, and researchtechnicians in advanced exercise physiology methodologies andscientific writing. Methodological Oversight: Maintain high standards oflaboratory techniques (e.g., invasive/non-invasive exercisetesting, metabolic profiling, muscle biopsies, vascular testing, ormolecular analyses).University of Maryland is an Equal Opportunity Employer encouragingexcellence through diversity. Qualified woman and minoritycandidates are encouraged to apply.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
