Postdoctoral positions available for a talented and highly motivated scientist to study the mechanisms lens regeneration using Iberian newts. Require: PhD.
Minimum requirements: Solid background in developmental/cell biology and bioinformatics, data processing, and working experience in command line, python, and R, as well as computational approaches for genomics in non-standard model organisms is highly encouraged. We are using cell, molecular and computational tools including CRISPRCas technology, single cell/nucleus RNAseq/ATACseq multiomics, proteomics, Cut & Run analysis, methylome analyses, HCR in situ hybridization, and conventional cell culture and cell biology techniques. The goal is to identify genetic and epigenetic switches required to induce lens regeneration in non-competent tissues/animals.
In addition, the lab is part of the Center for Visual Sciences at Miami University: http://www.units.miamioh.edu/visualsciences/index.php.
Send letter of application, curriculum vitae, brief description of research interests, and names and contact information of three references to Dr. Katia Del Rio-Tsonis by email to delriok@miamioh.edu. Screening of applications will begin immediately and will continue until positions are filled. Miami University is an EOE/AA employer.
Doctoral positions available immediately to conduct research in the area of regenerative biology of the eye using classical salamander and chick embryo model organisms. The lab currently has NIH funding focused on using molecular tools such as CRISPRCas technology, as well as single cell/nucleus RNAseq/ATACseq multiomics, proteomics, Cut & Run analysis, methylome analysis, HCR in situ hybridization, computational biology and conventional cell culture and cell biology techniques. The goal is to identify genetic and epigenetic switches required to induce retina and lens regeneration in non-competent tissues/animals.
