Indiana University
Postdoctoral Fellow in Stem Biology (Otolaryngology Dept)
Indiana University, Indianapolis, Indiana, us, 46262
POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN STEM BIOLOGY
in the Department of Otolaryngology-HNS
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 recently developed a human cochlear organoid system that recapitulates aspects of outer and inner hair cell development. Using this novel model system, we aim at elucidating the mechanisms underlying hair cell differentiation and identifying 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 ranging from chemical engineering to stem cell biology, neuroscience, and molecular biology. 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. We invite individuals who will join us in our mission to improve health equity and well-being for all throughout the state of Indiana.
Basic QualificationsDoctoral degree is required. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent in biomedical sciences.
