Two Postdoctoral Fellow Positions (skeletal muscle biology or neurological disorders, at Johns Hopkins University)

Two Postdoctoral Fellow positions are available in Gabsang Lee laboratory at Johns Hopkins University. These positions are NOT for stem cell expert, rather for who has OUTSTANDING expertise on either biochemistry, skeletal muscle biology, optogenetics OR single-cell studies. Previous experience on human pluripotent stem cells is not necessarily required, and we value more on the ‘non-stem cell’ experience. Research project will be developed based on the applicants’ talent and interest, in a conjunction with our research topics.

The Lee lab has been establishing novel methodologies to specify human induced pluripotent cells (hiPSCs), and to direct convert somatic cells, into multiple lineages, including induced neural crest (Kim et al., Cell Stem Cell, 2014), peripheral neurons (Oh et al., in revision), Schwann cells (Mukherjee-Clavin et al., in revision) and skeletal muscle cells (Choi et al., in revision) using multiple genetic reporter systems. We continue to study human developmental and degenerative disorders (pain disorders, demyelination disorders, and muscular dystrophies) to unravel the underlying cellular/molecular mechanism toward realistic therapeutic approaches.

Areas of research topics of these positions are below.
– Neural cell fate determinations
– Pain disorders
– Demyelination disorders
– Insulin resistance
– Muscular dystrophies
– Satellite cell biology

Applicants can send (by Feb 10th, 2016) a CV and the names of three references to the address listed below:
