The Division of Intramural Research (DIR) of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is seeking to recruit an outstanding non-invasive Cardiologist Staff Clinician, specializing in imaging to provide support for the echocardiography laboratory (adult and pediatric studies), patient care and teaching within the Cardiovascular Branch and for the NIH Clinical Center. The successful candidate will provide echocardiography and cardiology care to both inpatients and outpatients, participate in educational activities of the cardiology section, and potentially contribute to research in an area of your interest.

The Cardiovascular Branch of the NHLBI conducts research on diseases that affect the heart, blood, blood vessels and lungs with specific projects aimed to answer clinically relevant issues using methods ranging from a molecular level up to and including clinical projects in diagnostics, therapeutics and interventions; and emphasize creation of an environment where scientists and physician scientists can work together on disease specific issues using the most appropriate approaches available in the spectrum between the bench and the bedside. There are strong interactions with a wide range of independent research groups, and the position offers exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration within and outside of the NIH.
