Scholarship Description:
Exciting opportunities for 3 postdoctoral researchers to join our dynamic and multidisciplinary team. With extensive support from NIH, DoD and non-federal grants over the past decades, we’re dedicated to advancing the understanding of the role of primary cilia in human disease. Primary cilia play a critical role in the development of major human organs and systems, but the pathogenesis of ciliopathies is poorly understood. We focus on elucidating how primary cilia sense environmental signals and influence cellular processes such as signal transduction and cell fate determination.Our cutting-edge research uses state-of-the-art techniques (biochemistry, imaging, in vivo disease models, omics analysis, epigenetics，drug screening) and spans rare genetic disorders, cellular senescence, neurodegeneration, obesity/diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders and novel therapeutic strategies using rodent disease models.
Available Subjects:
The role of cilia in human disease
Eligibility criteria:
- As a member of our programme, you’ll work with passionate basic and clinical scientists and contribute to groundbreaking research in a rapidly evolving field. You will enjoy competitive remuneration, benefits and opportunities for internal promotion at one of the world’s leading medical institutions.
- Candidates with a PhD or MD in biochemistry, cell/developmental biology or related fields are encouraged to apply.
- Experience with stem cells and rodent models is an advantage, and excellent written and oral communication skills in English are required.
Application Procedure:
To apply, please submit your CV, a cover letter highlighting your research interests, and three professional references to [email protected]. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
