美国德克萨斯大学休斯顿健康科学中心博士后—神经科学和干细胞生物学

Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Associate in neuroscience and stem cell biology (gene expression and regulation)

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow or a Research Associate to study neurotrauma and neurodegenerative diseases in the Department of Neurosurgery, and Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School at Houston.

Our laboratory combines interdisciplinary approaches including neuroscience, stem cell biology, genomics and bioinformatics to address fundamental questions in neural cell fate and neural injuries/degeneration. We previously published the widely used brain RNA-Seq database in collaboration with Dr. Ben Barres’s group (http://www.brainrnaseq.org/). We provide training opportunities in cutting edge technologies such as single cell sequencing. We are pursuing basic and translational research in neural repair and regenerative medicine (http://jiaqianwulab.org/).

Qualified candidates should:

·Have experimental skills in molecular biology such as molecular cloning, immunoprecipitation, gene knockdown, over-expression.

·Preferably have background/experience in neuroscience and stem cell biology, isolating and culturing primary neural cells or stem cells.

·Experiences with transgenic mouse models are preferred.

·Demonstrated proficiency as evidenced by relevant publications in peer-reviewed journals and is interested in acquiring new skills.

The candidate will have the opportunity to pursue highly collaborative projects with significant translational impact, alongside with stem cell researchers and clinicians.

Our lab is located in the beautiful new facility of the Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine in the Texas Medical Center. Texas Medical Center is one of largest medical complex in the world and provides access to the more than 40 member institutions, including two medical schools, four schools of nursing and 13 renowned hospitals. Many scientific and educational opportunities are available in the metropolitan area of Houston as well as cultural, entertainment and sports activities.
