Description

Do you have a passion for science? Are you looking for the opportunity to use stem cell-based organoids to study retinal diseases? We are currently recruiting Postdoctoral Fellows to work in the laboratory of Dr. Tiansen Li at the National Eye Institute (NEI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Projects will focus on enhancing and accelerating the differentiation of stem cell-based organoids to model human retinal diseases and discover new therapies. We are seeking candidates who have a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. (graduated since 2020) in cell or developmental biology or related fields. Experience in retina or vision research is not required. Expertise in cell biology, retinal development, gene and cellular therapy, genome editing, are desired. Join us in our mission to make groundbreaking discoveries! Annual stipend will be commensurate with experience and training. Check PubMed and these relevant papers: PMIDs 31631019, 31814692, 32635833, 32174751, and 35783089.

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter with career goals, potential research projects of interest, curriculum vitae with publications, and contact information of three references to Tiansen Li, Ph.D., Senior Investigator, Retinal Cell Biology & Degeneration Section, Neurobiology, Neurodegeneration, & Repair Laboratory (N-NRL)/NEI/NIH at tiansen.li@nih.gov.

The National Institutes of Health is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment programs. The Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and the National Eye Institute are equal opportunity employers.
