Postdoctoral position in Mouse Embryonic Development and Stem Cell Biology

Posted by , on 15 August 2019

Closing Date: 15 March 2021

We offer one fully-funded postdoctoral position up to five years in the Laboratory of Genome Integrity located at the National Institutes of Health (NHI/NCI, Bethesda, MD).

 

Our laboratory uses human and mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) as well as mouse embryos to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the maintenance/exit of pluripotency and self-renewal. Understanding cell plasticity, pluripotency and differentiation to get a better comprehension of embryonic development, cell transformation and cancer are our scientific interests.

 

The applicant should have or about to have a PhD in Developmental Biology, Genetics or similar, and should have demonstrated expertise on molecular biology/mammalian tissue culture. Knowledge in mouse embryology, computational biology and next generation sequencing technologies will be considered as an advantage.

 

We seek a highly motivated, creative individual, eager to learn and develop new technologies and complex cell systems based on live cell/embryo imaging, single-cell technologies, 3D modelling and CRISPR-based editing interested in understanding how a single cell can develop into a complex multicellular organism in vitro and in vivo.
