Postdoc Position in Retinal Differentiation, Degeneration, and Regeneration

Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position into Postdoc Position in Retinal Differentiation, Degeneration, and Regeneration

A position of postdoctoral research fellow is immediately available at the Departments of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and Genetics in Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, USA. Our research projects aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of retinal differentiation and inherited retinal degenerations using mouse models, human pluripotent stem cells, retinal organoids, and RNA sequencing. We were recently awarded an NEI prize for the first of two phases of the NEI 3-D Retina Organoid Challenge 2020 (3-D ROC 2020). Additional information on our research projects can be found in our recent publications, including Cell Reports (2018) 25: 2510-2523, Stem Cell Reports (2016) 6:743-56, as well as on our websites.

The candidate for this position is expected to be a highly self-motivated, recent Ph.D. graduate with strong background in mouse genetics, vertebrate development, stem cells, or RNA sequencing. Research experience in eye development and inherited retinal degenerations is a plus. To apply for this position, please send your updated CV and Research Statement to Dr. Wei Liu, Wei.Liu@einstein.yu.edu. EOE.
