Project Description:

An immediate opening is available for a jointly advised post-doctoral fellow to work on an ARRA-funded NIH project to assess the cell adhesive properties of somatic cells under-going reprogramming to an induced pluripotent state.  Primary responsibilities will be to perform viral transduction experiments of cells to induce pluripotent reprogramming, characterize the adhesive receptor expression profile and phenotype of reprogrammed cells in vitro, and quantify the adhesive strength of cells before and after reprogramming.  

Applicant Qualifications:

A Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences or bioengineering, and significant experience in modern cell and molecular biology techniques is required.  Experience with cell transfection or transduction, gene expression analysis, flow cytometry and immunostaining, and cell biomechanics is strongly preferred.

 

Application Instructions:

Interested and qualified applicants should submit a CV and a list of at least 3 potential references to Drs. McDevitt and García via email (see below).
