Postdoc Positions
Rita Levi-Montalcini Postdoctoral Fellowship
Sturgeon Lab – A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Christopher Sturgeon, at the Washington University School of Medicine, in St. Louis, MO. We have developed novel human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) directed differentiation strategies that generate extra-embryonic and intra-embryonic like hematopoietic progenitors. Several research projects are available, all focused on the translational potential of these hPSC-derived hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Possible projects range from the development of hPSC-derived adoptive immunotherapies, epigenetic and post-transcriptional regulation of hematopoietic development, and the characterization of engraftable hematopoietic populations.
The applicant will be responsible for managing their own projects as well as collaborating both within the Sturgeon laboratory, and with other local groups. Applicants should have a PhD or MD and demonstrated relevant research experience and publication record. Excellent verbal and written English communication skills are essential. A strong background in either hematopoiesis / immunology, developmental biology, or cell biology is preferred, but not required. Previous bioinformatics or murine xenograft assays would be an asset.
Interested applicants should send a current CV, statement of research interests, and 2-3 contacts for reference letters, to Christopher Sturgeon (csturgeon@wustl.edu)
David Gutmann Lab/Neurofibromatosis Center – positions available in hiPSC modeling of pediatric low grade tumors and preventing vision loss from optic glioma. Interested candidates should email a letter of intent and CV to David H. Gutmann MD, PhD (gutmannd/at/wustl.edu) and visit http://gutmannlab.wustl.edu
Mysorekar Lab – Two postdoctoral fellowships are available in the broad field of host-microbial interactions (host organs: urinary bladder and placenta) and microbe (viruses/bacterial pathogens/commensal microbiota). Send a CV with statement of research interests and 3 references to Indira Mysorekar (imysorekar/at/wustl.edu).
For unsolicited requests, please use this form to indicate your interest in a postdoc position with a CRM lab.
