A postdoctoral research associate position is available in a multidisciplinary research effort focusing on adult stem cells and their applications in regenerative medicine. One of the major foci of our dynamic research team is to investigate the molecular signals both from the extracellular matrix and within the stem cells that regulate cell fate choice, for example between self-renewal and differentiation, using satellite cells in the skeletal muscle as a model.

Applicants must have a Ph. D. or equivalent degree in a life science-related field with an established background in cellular, molecular and developmental biology. Experience with mouse models, mammalian cell culture, protein-protein / protein-DNA interactions, and viral-based construct design for gene expression is a plus.

To apply, please send a cover letter describing research background and interests, plus Curriculum Vitae and the contact information of 3 professional references to: skuang(at)purdue.edu
