Postdoctoral Associate in Regeneration: MIT Postdoctoral Associate, Regeneration and Wound Healing in Vivo Designation: Postdoctoral Associate Research Area: Regeneration and Wound Healing Location: MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA
MIT’s research group led by Prof. Deblina Sarkar is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate with experience in regeneration and wound healing. The ideal candidate will have a background in the study of electric field in regeneration and wound healing, but it is not required. The successful candidate will be responsible for employing wireless nanoelectronic devices developed by the research group to promote regeneration and wound healing of peripheral nervous system, brain, cardiac tissue, spinal cord injury, and other organs through electric field in vivo in mouse models. They will also be responsible for studying the different mechanisms such as angiogenesis, neurogenesis, effect on inflammation, electrical/Ca signaling, immune cells, stem cells, axon regeneration, and electrotaxis. Additionally, they will be responsible for writing research grants.
Responsibilities:
• Employ wireless nanoelectronic devices for regeneration and wound healing of peripheral nervous system, brain, cardiac tissue, spinal cord injury, and other organs through electric field in vivo in mouse models
• Study different mechanisms such as angiogenesis, neurogenesis, effect on inflammation, electrical/Ca signaling, immune cells, stem cells, axon regeneration, and electrotaxis.
• Write research grants
Qualifications:
Required:
• PhD in biology, bioengineering, neuroscience, materials science, electrical/electronics engineering, or a relevant field.
• Strong background in regeneration and wound healing in vivo in mouse models.
• Experience in studying related mechanisms.
• Experience in methods such as Western blot, PCR, and analysis of cellular pathways.
• Expertise in in vivo animal models is required.
• Experience in cultured cells.
Preferred Education and Experience:
• Experience in the study of electric field in wound healing and regeneration and in electrotaxis.
• Experience in immune engineering.
• Experience with stem cells.
• Experience with organoids.
• Experience in EMG and muscle force measurements.
• Experience in recording electrical/ionic signaling from cells.
• Experience with testing animal behavior.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit their applications through the MIT website. Please include a cover letter describing your research experience and interest in this position, a CV, and contact information for three references.
Last Date for Apply: The application is open until the position is filled.
