Stem Cell Research Fellow

Job Description:

We are seeking a motivated Research Fellow with expertise in stem cell biology to join our interdisciplinary research team. The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge projects involving pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs/ESCs), organoid models, and regenerative medicine applications.

Key Responsibilities:

– Develop and optimize protocols for stem cell culture, differentiation (e.g., neural, cardiac, or mesenchymal lineages), and genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9)

– Establish disease-relevant stem cell models (e.g., for neurodegenerative disorders, Immune diseases)

– Perform functional assays including flow cytometry, qPCR, immunofluorescence, and single-cell omics analysis

– Design and execute experiments to evaluate stem cell-based therapies in vitro and in vivo

– Analyze data, prepare manuscripts for high-impact journals, and present findings at conferences

– Collaborate with bioengineers and clinicians to translate research findings

Qualifications:

Essential:

– PhD in stem cell biology, developmental biology, biomedical sciences, or related field

– Strong hands-on experience with:

• Human iPSC/ESC culture and differentiation
• Molecular biology techniques (e.g., CRISPR, viral transduction)
• Cell characterization methods (flow cytometry, microscopy, functional assays)

  – Track record of first-author publications in reputable journals

  – Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently

  Preferred:

  – Experience with 3D culture systems (organoids, biomaterial scaffolds)

  – Knowledge of single-cell sequencing or bioinformatics analysis

  – Background in disease modeling or preclinical studies

  – Prior industry/academic experience in regenerative medicine
