The Department of Radiology & Medical Imaging at the University of Virginia (UVA) within the School of Medicine (SOM) seeks applications for a Research Associate in the SALT Lab. The SALT Lab studies Sodium, Adipose, and Lymphatic Translational sciences in lymphedema and lipedema. We are seeking applicants whose research focuses on lipedema and lymphedema clinical trials using translational methods. Translational research methods being developed and applied in the SALT lab include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, bedside measurement devices like bioimpedance spectroscopy, and biorepository science.
The Research Associate will work within a dynamic team of lab members, collaborators, Core facilities experts, and research administration to carry out ongoing research, and develop an independent research study.
Ongoing research includes a program funded by the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, “Visualizing Sodium in Lymphatic Disease: A Translational Path” (1R35HL184172-01). The goal of this program is to study the progression of leg lymphedema, develop the SALT MRI exam for the upper body to image breast cancer-related lymphedema, and explore biological features of lipedema that may improve objective diagnosis. The program will test fundamental hypotheses using data collected from MRI and related in vivo data and coordinated biological samples in well-characterized participants with and without lymphatic disease.
On these studies, the Research Associate will specifically recruit and screen participants from UVA clinics and nationally with and without lipedema and lymphedema, assist in coordinating research visits, develop and perform non-MRI bedside procedures for data collection and experimentation, and support the MRI exam. After study visits, they will support data quality control, perform data analysis, and author and co-author scientific research abstracts and manuscripts for peer-review. The Research Associate will engage in similar activities which support research studies that develop across the lab. Research work will be conducted with independent judgement, while reporting outcomes to the PI regularly.
