| Post-doctoral fellowship in Stem Cell Biomechanics
| |
|
| |
|
| Applications are requested for a post-doctoral fellowship in the area of stem
| |
| cell mechanotransduction at Columbia University’s Cell and Molecular
| |
| Biomechanics Lab (bme.columbia.edu/fac-bios/jacobs/faculty.html &
| |
| jacobs.openwetware.org). This lab takes a multi-disciplinary approach to
| |
| studying cellular events involved in mechanotransduction and
| |
| mechanobiology. Support will be from a NY state research grant and the
| |
| position will initially be for two years with the possibility of a one-year
| |
| extension. The research involves investigation of the cell and molecular
| |
| level mechanism responsible for mechanotransduction in mesenchymal stem
| |
| cells (MSC). A successful candidate will be a motivated creative researcher
| |
| with experience in biomedical engineering or other engineering discipline.
| |
| Experience studying cellular systems and in vivo molecular imaging would
| |
| be an advantage. The candidate will be expected to interact as part of a
| |
| multifaceted research team. Training in cellular and molecular approaches
| |
| will be provided with both in vitro and in vivo systems. Interviewing of
| |
| potential candidates will begin in mid-November
| |
|
| |
| Interested candidates should contact Dr. Christopher Jacobs by email
| |
| (christopher.jacobs@columbia.edu) and provide a CV or resume of research
| |
| experience and accomplishments, short summary of doctoral research,
| |
| unofficial graduate transcript, electronic contact information for up to three
| |
| references, as well as a statement of research/career goals and future vision
| |
| and how a CMBL fellowship will contribute (limited to one page). Please
| |
| visit the CMBL website prior to preparing this statement.
