Postdoctoral Associate (Connecticut)

The overarching goal of our lab is to leverage human pluripotent stem cell technology and advanced structural biology methods to define the mechanisms and rules of sarcomere assembly and function.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in cell and molecular biology, particularly in stem cell differentiation, advanced imaging and protein-protein interaction studies. As part of our group, this talented individual would have access to a world-class consortium of scientists across pluripotent stem cell biology, 3-dimensional organoids/microtissue assays, super resolution microscopy, and structural biology.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in cell biology, molecular biology, biophysics, biomedical engineering, or a related field of study, as well as prior research experience in pluripotent stem cell biology and differentiation, advanced microscopy, genome editing, and/or proteomics.

Candidates should also have a publication record in peer-reviewed journals, excellent writing and communication skills, and the able to work both independently and as part of a productive team. Experience with R, Python or similar statistical package is helpful, as well as experience with proteomics data analyses and bioinformatics.
