What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Associate | Laboratory of Synthetic Embryology position at The Rockefeller University?
Organization Overview
The ultimate objective of the work in my laboratory is to understand the cellular and molecular basis of vertebrate embryonic induction,with a special emphasis on germ layer and organ formation. Toward this aim,we perform comparative studies using both amphibian and mammalian model systems, including human embryonic stem cells.
Overview
We seek a Postdoctoral researcher with a strong sense of independence and keen interest in driving research initiatives to join us at the Laboratory of Synthetic Embryology. They will work on a project correlating molecular behavioral phenotypes in a marmoset model of Huntington’s Disease.This is a great opportunity for individuals interested in studying in vitro models of neurodegenerative disease with a specific focus on investigating developmental aspects of Huntington’s Disease. Our lab places a strong emphasis on fostering a culture of open communication and collaboration, and we strive to build a supportive culture in our endeavors.
