Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Regenerative Biology and Medicine (Lab of. Dr. Yuval Rinkevich)

Positions are available for outstanding and motivated individuals with Ph.D or M.D. degrees wishing to identify principles of tissue repair and regeneration, and develop a knowledge basis for therapeutic strategies in clinical use. The candidate will explore tissue repair and regeneration at multiple levels, from the level of whole organisms to the level of single cells. We employ state-of-the-art mouse genetics, multicolor ‘Rainbow’ and Tetrachimera mouse models, surgery models in rodents, flow cytometry, single cell omics, cell & molecular biology approaches to pursue diverse questions on how tissues/organs regenerate from single stem cells, and what underlies the clinical basis of maladaptive wound repair such as chronic wounds, and organ fibrosis. Our mission is to leverage our basic findings for enhanced repair and regeneration. Our work therefore carries both basic, clinical & evolutionary implications, and has been published in Nature, Science, Nature Cell Biology, Nature Immunology, and Science Translational Medicine journals (to name a few).

The Chinese Institutes for Medical Research, Beijing (CIMR, Beijing) is a new research organization dedicated to advancing basic and translational medical research. Our goal is to tackle fundamental problems in human health with cutting-edge technologies and through interdisciplinary collaborations with world-class scientists and physicians in Beijing. CIMR will provide education and training opportunities for future postdoctoral fellows. We are committed to a science-centered framework to promote innovation in research and education through a variety of novel funding mechanisms.

Candidates should ideally have strong language skills in English language, have a background (Ph.D) in either Cell/Molecular Biology, Computational Bioinformatics, Immunology, Virology, Stem Cell Biology, or Developmental Biology, and be trained in standard techniques of Molecular Biology and Cell Biology.

To apply, please send the following documents in English as a single PDF file to [email protected], and indicate postdoc application in the email subject.

1. Updated CV and contact information (email, address, telephone number).

2. Short summaries of your research interests and major accomplishments.
