Postdoctoral position in matrix biology and development
Posted by Sophie Astrof, on 1 April 2017
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Sophie Astrof to study roles of cell-extracellular matrix interactions in cardiovascular development and disease using cell biological approaches and mouse model system. The project will involve investigation of signaling by extracellular matrix in development and differentiation, utilizing state-of-the art imaging and genetic approaches. In our lab, we use genetics, conditional mutagenesis, and transgenic approaches to explore roles of tissue microenvironment during organogenesis and disease. Experience with genetic manipulation, embryology and cell biology is desirable. My laboratory is a part of the Center for Translational Medicine at Jefferson Medical College (http://www.tju.edu/jmc/medicine/translational_medicine/faculty/astrof.cfm?detail=0) located in the heart of Philadelphia. To apply, send a letter of interest, CV and names and contact information of three references to sophie.astrof@gmail.com…
