Postdoctoral Positions in ‘Development, Stem Cells and Tissue Regeneration’ Lab

Postdoctoral Positions in ‘Development, Stem Cells and Tissue Regeneration’  Lab of

Prof. Yuval Rinkevich 

Positions are available for outstanding and motivated individuals with Ph.D degrees in developmental biology, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, who are interested in studying fundamental principles in tissue development and regeneration. Candidates with training in developmental biology, intravital live imaging, bioinformatics are especially encouraged to apply.

The Rinkevich lab investigates fundamental mechanisms of tissue regeneration, wound repair, and stem cell lineage behavior. Our multidisciplinary approach spans from the level of whole organisms to that of single cells, using state-of-the-art mouse genetics, multicolor “Rainbow” and Tetrachimera models, advanced imaging, flow cytometry, and single-cell omics to pursue diverse questions on how tissues/organs regenerate from single stem cells, and what underlies the clinical basis of maladaptive wound repair such as chronic wounds, and organ fibrosis. Our mission is to leverage our basic findings for enhanced repair and regeneration. Our work therefore carries both basic, clinical & evolutionary implications, and published in top journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Cell Biology, Nature Immunology, and Science Translational Medicine. 

The Chinese Institutes for Medical Research, Beijing (CIMR, Beijing) is a new research organization dedicated to advancing basic and translational medical research, with a US-style management system. Our goal is to tackle fundamental problems in human health with cutting-edge technologies and through interdisciplinary collaborations with world-class scientists and physicians in Beijing. CIMR will provide education and training opportunities for future postdoctoral fellows. We are committed to a science-centered framework to promote innovation in research and education through a variety of novel funding mechanisms.
