Postdoctoral Positions in Stem Cell, Developmental, and Cancer Biology : New York, NY, United States

Funded positions are available in the Shen laboratory to investigate the regulation of pluripotency and differentiation in embryonic stem cells and in mouse embryonic development, as well as the molecular mechanisms of cellular differentiation in prostate and bladder development and tumorigenesis. We are seeking highly-motivated applicants with a commitment to excellence for studies in the following areas:

1) Molecular and systems analyses of pluripotency and lineage-specific differentiation in embryonic stem cells and epiblast stem cells, as well as during peri-gastrulation stages of mouse embryogenesis.

2) Prostate organogenesis, regeneration, and tumorigenesis in mouse models, focusing on the roles of prostate epithelial stem cells and the cell of origin for prostate cancer.

3) Bladder organogenesis and tumorigenesis in mouse models and human organoids.

Successful candidates will have a Ph.D. degree with a strong background in stem cell biology, developmental biology, and/or cancer research. Expertise with mouse models, embryology, cellular reprogramming, organoid culture, imaging, and/or genomic analyses would be advantageous.
