英国剑桥大学博士后职位---肺发育与肺干细胞

剑桥大学（University of Cambridge；勋衔：Cantab），坐落于英国剑桥郡，是一所公立研究型大学，采用传统学院制。学校是罗素大学集团成员，被誉为“金三角名校”和“G5”之一。剑桥大学是英语世界中第二古老的大学，前身是一个于1209年成立的学者协会。

Research Associate (Fixed Term)

University of Cambridge

We are looking for a talented and motivated postdoctoral scientist to join  the lab of Dr Emma Rawlins.

The Rawlins lab studies lung development and lung stem cells with a particular focus on using human organoid models to study cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling development and repair. We have recently developed a series of innovative human lung organoid models and accompanying CRISPR tools which will further enable the study of human lung disease.

This position is part of a Wellcome-funded highly collaborative UK-based project which brings together human geneticists, lung cell biologists and clinicians to define the genetics and cell biology underlying chronic human lung disease. The specific project will focus initially on the use of CRISPR tools to model human genetic variation in organoids. There will be excellent scope for innovation and direction-setting, focusing on the long-term aim of identifying and testing potential disease-modifying pathways.

You should be passionate about developmental/stem cell biology, be willing to tackle difficult problems and be able to develop novel experimental approaches to answer outstanding questions. While prior experience with organoid culture, CRISPR genome editing, flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing would be advantageous, an eagerness to learn and to exploit and develop innovative methods is the critical requirement. You will play a key role in a highly collaborative research programme, so a friendly and collegial attitude is crucial.

You should have a PhD in a relevant subject, or be close to completion of your degree.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.
