Posdoctoral Position (Zhou Lab)

Postdoctoral Position

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Qiao Joe Zhou to work on the regeneration of insulin-secreting beta cells using direct reprogramming and human embryonic stem cells.

We have identified genetic factors that can directly reprogram a variety of cell types to insulin-secreting beta cells in vivo in animal models.  The induced beta cells reverse hyperglycemia of diabetic animals.  We are working to develop a similar strategy with human tissues. 

We seek highly motivated individuals with a Ph.D or M.D degree.  Candidates should ideally be trained in human embryonic stem cell culture and differentiation and familiar with techniques of molecular biology and cell biology.

To apply, please send or email CV and contact information (email, address, telephone number) to:
