美国罗切斯特大学博士后职位招聘–细胞和分子生物学、生物医学工程、遗传学和/或骨生物学方面

Job Description

A postdoctoral fellow position is available immediately in the center for musculoskeletal research at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. We are seeking for a highly motivated scientist to join the NIH funded research programs studying bone tissue vascularization and bone regeneration.

The research program centers on cellular and molecular mechanisms that orchestrate osteogenesis and angiogenesis during bone tissue repair and regeneration. The research program integrates bone tissue engineering, vascular biology, and skeletal biology with emphasis on blood vessel specification in bone regeneration.

The successful candidate will work with a team of scientists to study bone progenitor cell interaction with angiogenic cells utilizing genetic, imaging and engineering approaches. The candidate will have access to cutting-edge imaging, genetic and engineering models to understanding mechanism of bone repair and regeneration. Mouse models of bone tissue regeneration will be used in the study.
