瑞典隆德大学干细胞中心生物学博士后职位
Located just across the bridge from Copenhagen airport, Lund University is Scandinavia’s largest institution for education and research. The Lund Stem Cell Center is a strong international research center with a focus on stem cell and developmental biology primarily of the central nervous system, pancreas and blood system, development of stem cell and cell replacement therapies in these organ systems, as well as research in non-mammalian model systems. Lund Stem Cell Center offers regular seminars in the fields of developmental biology, neurobiology, hematopoiesis and cancer stem cells. In addition, Stem Cell Frontier seminars and workshops with international speakers take place. A research school in stem cell biology offers hands-on courses on advanced methods in stem cell biology and theoretical courses for PhD students and Postdocs (http://www.medfak.lu.se/stemcellcenter).
One post-doctoral fellowship is immediately available in the developmental biology program of the Lund Stem Cell Center. The recipient must hold a PhD degree obtained not more than 3 years ago. The laboratory of Edgar Pera has a focus on cell-cell signaling during vertebrate development and organogenesis (See also http://www.med.lu.se/plain/labmedlund/lund_stem_cell_center/research_groups/vertebrate_developmental_biology). We are looking for enthusiastic and committed candidates who will carry out an independent research project on the functional analysis of nuclear receptor signaling during organogenesis in the mouse. Several temporal and tissue-specific knockout lines are available in our group. Techniques including in vitro organ culture, immunofluorescence, q-PCR and confocal microscopy will be applied. Experience in molecular biology, histology, and mouse handling is desirable.
The position is for at least 2 years. Candidates should send a letter explaining their interest, CV and addresses of 3 referees to:
Dr. Edgar Pera, Lund Stem Cell Center, Klinikgatan 26, BMC B12, Lund University, 22184 Lund, Sweden
