Two Post-doc positions in stem cell biology and spatial transcriptomics at King’s College London
Posted by Francesca Spagnoli, on 19 May 2021
Location: Centre for Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine at King’s College London, London
Closing Date: 15 June 2021
The Spagnoli lab. is looking for two talented and highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to develop an exciting interdisciplinary project studying the pancreatic tissue micro-environment in all its complexity using cutting-edge models.
We seek to spatially reconstruct the organization of functional niches in the pancreas and study how they induce distinct pancreatic differentiation programs using mouse models and human pluripotent stem cells. This will set the stage for manipulating 3D organ niches towards engineering pancreatic cells for regenerative medicine.
Applicants should have a recent PhD degree or have submitted his/her PhD thesis. We wish to appoint one postdoc with background in development and stem cell biology and one postdoc with computational background interested in single-cell omics, spatial transcriptomics and image analysis.
The Spagnoli lab. is a young dynamic team, member of the outstanding Centre for Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine at King’s College London. This is a world-class research environment with all facilities essential for this ambitious research program.
Interested candidates should get in touch with Francesca Spagnoli (francesca.spagnoli@kcl.ac.uk) for further information. Please send your CV, research interests, and names and contact information of three references.
Positions will be available starting in October 2021.
