Job Details

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to work in a dynamic research environment funded by multi-year grants from National Institutes of Health (NIH) https://thepajcinilab.com. The postdoctoral fellow will employ multidisciplinary approaches by combining stem cell biology and genetic approaches with transgenic model systems and single cells analysis, to understand fundamental mechanisms of tissue regeneration and to develop advanced therapeutics for tissue injury. The main target organs include the bone marrow microenvironment, the lung and the thymus.

The key research areas include Notch signaling in hematopoietic niche cellular microenvironments (e.g. pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2210058120) and endothelial bone marrow niche regeneration (e.g. haematologica.org/article/view/9119) as well as bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cell fate decisions (insight.jci.org/articles/view/157015/pdf, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32881992/).
