Departmental strengths include faculty engaged in cardiovascular science, ion channel physiology, molecular motors, cellular biophysics, calcium signaling, nuclear steroid receptors, and aging research. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to engage with collaborative translational research groups within Loyola's Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) and the Center for Healthy Aging and Resistance Mechanisms (CHARM).
