Position Summary:

We are looking for a motivated and creative post-doctoral fellow to join the 3D Stem Cell Biology Research Lab ( https://www.hashinolab.com ) and study normal and pathological development of the human inner ear using stem cell-derived organoids as a model system. We aim to elucidate the mechanisms underlying hair cell differentiation and identify means to promote hair cell regeneration in the human cochlea. We are also developing a human cochlear–hindbrain assembloid system to study auditory neural circuitry development. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent in biomedical sciences. Funding is available for supporting this position for up to 5 years. The start date is flexible.

The Hashino lab is a highly collaborative group of scientists with diverse research backgrounds. We conduct team-based science while fostering independence and creative approaches to addressing fundamental scientific questions. The experimental approaches we are currently using include: CRISPR genome editing, CUT&RUN/ChIP, scRNA-seq/scATAC-seq, 3D imaging/expansion microscopy, proteomics, hydrogel fabrication/characterization, bioprinting, and mathematical modeling. IUSM is committed to being an institution that reflects the learners we teach and the patient populations we serve and pursues the values of equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence. We desire candidates whose work contributes to equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for our learners, staff, and faculty.
