Postdoctoral position in Spatial multi-omics of early embryo development

Job title:  Postdoc

Location: Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, 190 Kaiyuan Avenue, Guangzhou Science Park, Guangzhou, China

Salary:  Competitive with benefits ($45k +), subject to skills and experience

We are seeking highly motivated and collaborative postdocs in studying stem cell lineage of early mammalian embryos.

The purpose of this position is to characterize temporal and spatial mapping of mammalian early embryo and translational applicant of functional stem cells/Organoids. We have developed methods to systematically survey the spatial organization of tissue cell types in single-cell level and identified the temporal and spatial regulation for cell fate commitment  in early mouse embryos (Nature, 2019; Nature Genetics, 2019; Dev Cell, 2016). We aim to further understand the mechanisms of stem cell specification and lineage segregation of early mammalian embryos through dynamic, in situ and quantitative approaches.

We seek candidates who are energetic, focused, and productive with a desire to work and lead within a wet and dry mingled lab. Good organizational, analytical, and communication skills are essential. A track-record of original research in biomedical science is required. Experiences in single-cell and spatial omics, bioinformatics are highly desirable.

Gunagdun Peng’s laboratory focuses on understanding the mechanism of lineage specification in mammalian early embryo and developing cutting-edge technology of multi-omics, and is keen on stem-cell-based treatment for human diseases.

Research techniques used in the laboratory include: molecular biology, advanced imaging, 2D/3D culture, genome modification, genome-wide lineage tracing, single-cell sequencing, spatial multi-omics, bioinformatics.

Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences (GIBH, CAS) aims to achieve the goal of “Healthy China” and tackle human health challenges.

GIBH has successfully hosted “Guangzhou International Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Forum” for ten consecutive years, which invited many world-famous stem cell researchers including Nobel Laureates. GIBH is featured in its influential stem-cell researches.
