βStanding on the edge of death now, I feel compelled,β writes Amy Silverstein (@ajsilverstein16), βto use my experience in the transplant trenches to illuminate and challenge the status quo.β

Goodness - this is a popular position. I'm going to provide a bit more info so you can decide if it is right for you! First, the big drawcard for me (if I was applying for postdocs) is the potential for impact. This project is well-funded (thx funders) and very applied, 1/7
We are hiring! Post-doc position available in our team to work on a new project exploring exercise as medicine for children living with chronic conditions.
