Forsyth
Description
The ADA Forsyth Institute is an independent nonprofit research institution located in the epicenter of biomedical research in Cambridge, MA. The institute offers excellent research support and collaboration opportunities with multiple prestigious universities and institutions in the area, along with competitive salaries and attractive fringe benefits.
The Chengji Zhou lab recently relocated from the University of California to the ADA Forsyth Institute and has an immediate opening for a
Postdoctoral Fellow
to study the mechanism and prevention of tissue closure birth defects, including neural tube defects and orofacial clefts. Both projects have been funded by NIH. The Zhou lab utilizes molecular, cellular, embryological, genetic, and single-cell genomic approaches to address the mechanisms underlying tissue closure and related birth defects in genetically modified mutant mouse models. Basic Qualifications Recent Ph.D. or equivalent in biomedical fields 2-4 years of wet-lab research experience with expertise in a specific field demonstrated by publication Highly motivated and responsible Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and experimental skills Good interpersonal and communication skills Willing to work in a collaborative environment Preferred Skills and Responsibilities Hands-on experience with mouse work, including colony management, sample collection, and PCR genotyping Sample embedding and sectioning using a cryostat Immunohistochemistry and western blot RNA probe preparation, section and wholemount in situ hybridization, RNAscope, and related microscopic imaging technologies RNA extraction and real-time RT-PCR Chromatin immunoprecipitation and promoter luciferase assay Bioinformatics in sequencing and single-cell genomic analyses is a plus To Apply Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their application, including a curriculum vitae and the name and contact information of 3 references.
