Postdoctoral Research Associate
University of Wisconsin-Madison
We use zebrafish and mice to study the blood stem cell microenvironment. These stem cells are clinically important as a curative treatment for many blood cancers and diseases. A better understanding of blood stem cells and their supportive niche will help us improve these treatments and thereby patient survival.
We are currently seeking postdoctoral candidates who are interested in using cutting edge technologies to dissect the regulatory microenvironment of the blood stem cell niche. Highly motivated, independent, collegial, and dedicated candidates are encouraged to apply. Applicants should possess a PhD with a strong background in molecular biology, genetics, or related fields. Experience in microscopy and analysis of imaging data is preferred but not required.
Applicants should have:
• outstanding recommendations
• excellent written and verbal English skills
• a strong publication record
• recently graduated from their doctoral program
Applications should include a brief description of goals and interests, CV, and three references (including PhD supervisor).
