Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher: The RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research seeks a Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Laboratory for Vascular Morphogenesis in Kobe, Japan. The successful candidate will develop and implement new methodologies to understand how haemodynamic forces and endothelial cell mechanics shape vascular tubes of correct morphology and optimal size and pattern.
Designation: Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: Vascular Morphogenesis
Location: RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research, Kobe, Japan
Eligibility/Qualification: A PhD holder in the area related to the job description. The successful candidate should have a strong interest in unravelling mechanisms governing tissue morphogenesis and patterning, with relevant experience in cell biology, developmental biology, biophysics and/or bioengineering, and skills in quantitative live imaging.
Job Description:
Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher in Vascular Morphogenesis
The successful candidate will develop and implement new methodologies to characterize the effects of haemodynamic forces in regulating cellular and subcellular processes using zebrafish and microfluidics. The role will involve designing and managing research experiments, presenting research findings, writing grants and research papers, and communicating and collaborating with researchers in and out of the laboratory.
How to Apply: To apply, submit a CV, a research statement, and two or more references through the RIKEN job portal.
