Postdoctoral Position in Stem Cell Biology: The Porse group at the Finsen Laboratory/BRIC, University of Copenhagen, is offering a prestigious postdoctoral position focused on experimental hematology. The successful candidate will join an international and interdisciplinary research group to work on various aspects of normal and malignant hematopoietic stem cell biology, including associated diseases such as acute myeloid leukemia.
Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Hematology to Study Normal and Malignant Hematopoietic Stem Cell Biology
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: Experimental Hematology – Normal and Malignant Hematopoietic Stem Cell Biology
Location: BRIC, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Eligibility/Qualification:
- A PhD in life sciences or equivalent research experience
- Strong documented research experience and expertise in single-cell technologies, experimental mouse work, biochemistry, advanced flow cytometry, genome-wide approaches (ChIP-seq, Chromatin Conformation Capture, etc.), CRISPR technologies, or functional haematopoiesis
- Good organizational skills and a detail-oriented structured approach to work tasks
- Collaborative skills
- Excellent written and spoken English
Job Description:
The successful candidate will utilize advanced CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technologies in primary human and murine hematopoietic stem cells to functionally assess novel regulators of normal and malignant hematopoietic stem cell biology.
