Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Tissue Regeneration and Disease Development Joo-Hyeon Lee Lab, Developmental Biology Program - Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

The people of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are united by a singular mission: ending cancer for life. Our specialized care teams provide personalized, compassionate, expert care to patients of all ages. Informed by basic research done at our Sloan Kettering Institute, scientists across MSK collaborate to conduct innovative translational and clinical research that is driving a revolution in our understanding of cancer as a disease and improving the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat it. MSK is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and clinicians, who go on to pursue our mission at MSK and around the globe. One of the world’s most respected comprehensive centers devoted exclusively to cancer, we have been recognized as one of the top two cancer hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report for more than 30 years. 

Join the dynamic team of Dr Joo-Hyeon Lee(https://www.mskcc.org/research/ski/labs/joo-hyeon-lee) at the Sloan Kettering Institute, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and contribute to ground-breaking research in tissue regeneration and disease development. We are looking for a motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to work on an innovative, multi-disciplinary, and collaborative project focused on understanding the mechanisms that confer cell fate competency during tissue regeneration, and their significance in disease development. Successful candidates will benefit from cutting-edge experimental model systems, including in vivo novel lineage tracing mouse models, ex vivo mouse and patient-derived human lung organoids, single cell multi-omics, high-resolution imaging platforms, biophysical clonal modelling. Through these diverse approaches, you will unravel the intricate dynamics of cell fates and states during regeneration and disease initiation (Ref: Lee et al. Cell 2017; Ombrato et al. Nature 2019; Choi et al. Cell Stem Cell 2020; Youk et al. Cell Stem Cell 2020; Yum et al. Nature 2021; Choi et al. Nature Cell Biol. 2021; Jeon et al. EMBO J. 2022). 

The ideal candidate should have:  

• PhD/MD in a Bioscience-related subject  

• Enthusiasm for collaborative and interdisciplinary research, as well as a keen interest in leveraging innovative technologies.  

• Strong background in development and stem cell biology, along with proficiency in genetic mouse models, confocal imaging analysis, and multi-omics computational analysis. 

• Expertise in epigenetics, metabolism, and mechanics (prefer) 

• Experience in primary cell cultures, flow cytometry, and CRISPR genome editing.
