There are immediate openings for two Post-doctoral Fellowships in the Spine Bioengineering Unit of the Orthopaedics Research Labs at Mount Sinai under the guidance of Dr. James Iatridis. The lab focuses on spine research combining bioengineering and biology to investigate pathophysiology of back pain and disc degeneration and to develop regenerative treatments. In support of NIH funded R01 grants. The projects focus on tissue engineering of the intervertebral disc and on mechanisms for diabetes induced disc degeneration. The ideal candidates will have a background in biology or bioengineering with relevant experience on animal models, biological assays, histological methods, mechanical testing and/or computational analyses. This position offers a tremendous learning experience to highly motivated and independent individuals.  A minimum two year commitment is required.  To apply, please submit your CV, a very short description of your research interests and goals, and the names of three references to james.iatridis@mssm.edu.  For more information about the lab, please see our lab web page: https://labs.icahn.mssm.edu/iatridislab/
