The Shock, Trauma, and Anesthesiology Research (STAR Center) Center and the Center for Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine are currently recruiting a fully funded postdoctoral fellow to join the Yuan laboratory with a potential starting date of January 1, 2024, to work on the lung and vascular regeneration. The primary focus in Yuan laboratory includes 1) Delineating molecular mechanisms in the lung vascular niche during homeostasis and diseases; 2) Incorporating bioengineering principles and human stem cell technology to develop vascular and alveolar tissue models. This excellent research opportunity will provide extensive training in cellular and molecular biology, bioengineering, and computational biology in a translation-oriented environment. These highly translational projects are funded by NHLBI (K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award) and AHA and involve both human subjects and rodent animals. Postdoctoral fellow: The candidate for this position is expected to be a highly self-motivated, recent PhD or MD/PhD graduate with a strong background in bioengineering, molecular/cell biology, and animal physiology. Additionally, the candidate is expected to have good written and oral communication skills and an independent ability to design and execute experiments. Candidates with additional experience in the following skills and areas will be preferred but not required: human stem cell culture, animal handling, qRT-PCR, western Blot, flow cytometry, and familiar with 3D cell/tissue culture systems such as organoids and/or organ on chips. Contact: To apply for this position, please send your CV, the contact information of three referees, and cover letter describing your research interests and future plans to Dr. Yifan Yuan at yyuan@som.umaryland.edu Job: Postdoctoral Fellows* *Organization: School of Medicine - Centers/Programs/ORCs *Title: *Postdoctoral Fellow –Yuan Laboratory Location: null Requisition ID: 2300015W
