美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)NCATS生物学方向博士后职位招聘

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), Division of Pre-Clinical Innovation, seeks applications from qualified candidates with expertise in human pluripotent stem cell (ESCs and iPSCs) biology to join the Center’s newly established stem cell program. Candidates with a strong background in cell, molecular and systems biology also are encouraged to apply. Our mission is to tackle the key challenges that currently impede the translation of the iPSC technology for drug discovery and regenerative medicine applications.

The selected candidates will join a multidisciplinary team of innovative scientists with expertise in assay development, high-throughput and high-content screening, compound management, automation engineering, bioinformatics, medicinal chemistry, and various “-omics” technologies. They will work in a highly creative environment, focusing on important aspects of human pluripotency and cellular differentiation using cutting-edge technologies (e.g., single-cell analysis, deep sequencing, automated cell culture, high-throughput electrophysiology). The selected candidates will establish new standards, quality controls, improved differentiation protocols and other resources for the iPSC field. They will be responsible for conducting research and advancing specific programs in coordination with the team leader.
