美国国立环境卫生研究所胚胎干细胞研究博士后职位

A postdoctoral position is available in the Stem Cell Biology Group in the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, to investigate the molecular basis of embryonic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. The group is part of the Laboratory (i.e., department) of Molecular Carcinogenesis (LMC) in NIEHS. We have recently identified a list of novel candidate genes that are important for ES cell self-renewal in large-scale RNAi screens, and we are going to investigate and characterize their function in ES cells, mouse development, and the reprogramming of somatic cells. In addition, we will also use functional genetic approaches to study lineage-specification during ES cell differentiation and adult stem cell self-renewal and differentiation.

Applicants must have a doctoral level degree with less than five years of postdoctoral research. Experience in embryonic stem cells, gene regulation, cell biology, or embryology is highly recommended but not required. Competitive stipends are determined by educational degree(s) and number of years of relevant postdoctoral experience.

NIEHS is surrounded by prominent research institutions, and it provides a stimulating environment and excellent opportunities for young scientists to develop their research careers. The Scientist consistently lists NIEHS among the top places for postdoctoral training.
