Postdoctoral Research

Overview

Job Description
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our research team at the CMHS-UAEU, focusing on stem cell biology. The successful candidate will work on cutting-edge projects related to stem cell culture, differentiation, and their applications in regenerative medicine and disease modelling. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to pioneering research in a dynamic and collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and analyze experiments involving the culture, expansion, and differentiation of various types of stem cells (e.g., pluripotent, embryonic, mesenchymal).
• Optimize stem cell culture protocols and develop new techniques for stem cell maintenance and differentiation.
• Perform gene editing and molecular biology techniques, including CRISPR/Cas9, qPCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to explore stem cell applications in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and disease modeling.
• Maintain detailed records of experimental procedures, data, and results, ensuring compliance with institutional and regulatory standards.
• Present findings at lab meetings, seminars, and international conferences, and contribute to the preparation of manuscripts for peer-reviewed publications.
• Mentor graduate students and research assistants in stem cell-related techniques and methodologies.
• Stay current with relevant scientific literature and developments in the field of stem cell research.

Qualifications

• Minimum Qualification: Education: Ph.D. in Stem Cell Biology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or a related field.
• Preferred Qualification: As above.
• Expected Skills: Education: Ph.D. in Stem Cell Biology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or a related field;Experience in culturing and maintaining stem cells, including differentiation into specific lineages; familiarity with pluripotent stem cells and gene editing;Technical skills in cell culture, gene editing (CRISPR), flow cytometry, molecular biology methods, and fluorescence microscopy;Excellent verbal and written communication;Ability to work independently and in a multidisciplinary team;Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to experimental design and data interpretation.
