Strong interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills are essential.
Job Description:
Postdoctoral Associate Position in Epithelial Stem Cell-Based Repair in the Alveolar Region of the Lung
The successful candidate will work on various research projects aimed at understanding alveolar epithelial cell repair in live mice. Projects may involve characterizing the emergence of transient progenitor populations, defining cell trajectories and gene regulatory networks, live imaging of individual alveolar stem cells, investigating alveolar stem cell-niche interactions, and exploring signaling pathways affecting alveolar stem cell migration. In addition to research responsibilities, the candidate will assist the Principal Investigator (PI) in laboratory operations, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and grant submissions. Some administrative tasks related to laboratory safety and supply management will also be required.
Training & Responsibilities: The Chioccioli lab is committed to providing mentorship and professional development opportunities. Trainees will have regular meetings with the PI, gaining technical skills, data presentation, and scientific writing abilities. The candidate will have access to cutting-edge imaging technologies, single-cell multi-omics approaches, and mouse models for lung injury. They will become part of the vibrant scientific communities at Yale University and have opportunities for career mentorship, presenting research, and attending conferences.
Mentoring and Professional Development:
- Regular meetings with the PI to discuss projects and career goals.
- Development of laboratory technical skills, data presentation, and scientific writing.
- Opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research under PI supervision.
- Participation in Genetics and Comparative Medicine (CMED) seminars, retreats, and gatherings.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should email the following documents to Dr. Maurizio Chioccioli at maurizio.chioccioli@yale.edu:
- Cover letter detailing personal motivation, career goals, and research/scientific background.
- Curriculum Vitae (CV).
- Contact information of 2-3 referees familiar with your experience and interests.
Closing Date for Application: 31 December 2023
