Post Doctoral Position in adult muscle stem cell self-renewal and homeostasis during muscle regeneration

A post doctoral position is available in the newly established laboratory of Dr. Andrew Brack, Ph.D. (Center of Regenerative Medicine/MGH) to dissect key molecular mechanisms that regulate the self renewal potential and long term homeostasis of muscle stem cells during muscle regeneration.

The laboratory’s research focus is to understand the signals present within the muscle stem cell niche that control cell fate decisions of the adult muscle stem cell to effectively regenerate adult skeletal muscle. The major focus of this postdoctoral position will be to deconstruct the communication between the muscle stem cell niche and the stem cell using cre/lox gene recombination and genetic knockin technology. The research goals designed for this position have direct relevance to stem cell biology, tissue regeneration and human disease.

Minimum requirements for this position include a Ph.D. and/or M.D. Prior experience with molecular biology, flow cytometry, microscopy, cell culture and mouse handling is essential.

Interested candidates should submit electronic copy of their curriculum vitae, along with complete contact information for at least three references, and a cover letter describing their past research experience, career goals and a statement of future research interests to:

Dr. Andrew Brack, Ph.D.
