Postdoctoral Research Fellows

Description:

The Kim laboratory seeks highly motivated post-doctoral research fellow to investigate the mechanism by which vascular networks are formed from stem cells and to develop novel approaches to therapeutic vascularization and tissue regeneration. Up to one postdoctoral fellow position is available to work on the following Korea NRF projects:

Project – Bioengineering for human bone organoids. Goal: to elucidate the mechanisms by which blood vessels regulate the osteogenic activity of human mesenchymal stem cells/hematopoietic stem cells and to develop new therapeutic strategies to regenerate bone microenvironement niches.

Requirements:

• Ph.D. or equivalent degree

• A record of innovative publications (first-authored publications in peer-reviewed journals)

• Experience with stem cell culture, molecular biology, and animal models is highly desirable

• Independent in scientific research and writing, self-motivated, and ethical

• Excellent communication and organizational skills

• Strong interest in regenerative medicine

To apply:

Applicants should send a CV, a brief statement of interest, and contact information for three references to Prof. Hwan Drew Kim(hdkim@ut.ac.kr).
