We Welcome Highly Motivative Candidates to Apply

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Ya-Wen Chen at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to study the embryonic development and generation of human parathyroid via spital transcriptomes (Visium HD) and single cell multiome.

Highly motivated PhD and MD/PhD graduates with advanced knowledge and expertise in bioinformatics, molecular and cell biology, including stem cell biology, regulation of gene expression, cell signaling, tissue and disease modeling, including primary tissue and cell culture models, are welcome to apply. General knowledge of embryology is preferable but not required.  Experience of in vitro models would be an advantage. Curiosity is the core spirit of the lab. We encourage candidates from other disciplines to apply if you are interested in what we do!

The successful applicant will learn human development and directed differentiation using pluripotent stem cells and have a strong publication record and an excellent aptitude for research and career development. We are looking for applicants who are collaborative with effective communication skills and enjoy working in a team. Proven capacity to design, execute, and interpret your own experiments is essential.

Applications should include a CV, the contact for three references and a brief statement outlining key areas of expertise and reasons why you would like to join the lab. Informal enquiries can be addressed to Dr. Ya-Wen Chen, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Otolaryngology, Department of Cell, Developmental & Regenerative Biology, Black Family Stem Cell Institute, Institute of Airway Sciences at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (yawen.chen@mssm.edu).
